For the olive topping
1 cup small pimiento stuffed green olives
1/2 cup small Kalamata olives, pitted
3/4 cup small ripe California olives, pitted
1 cup homemade or great quality commercial mayo
For the burgers and putting it all together
1 pound ground chuck
1/2 pound ground pork
The half cup of chopped olives
1 teaspoon black pepper (coarse grind)
The olive-mayo sauce
4 slices Swiss or Provolone cheese
Lettuce leaves
4 of your favorite burger buns

1
Chop the olives coarsely by hand or place them in a mini food processor and pulse them until coarsely chopped.
2
Reserve 1/2 cup of the olives and mix the rest with the mayo. Refrigerate the olive mayo mixture until ready to serve.
3
Combine the ground chuck, ground pork, the half cup of chopped olives and the black pepper. Shape into 4 patties and place on a pre heated grill over medium /high heat. Grill until cooked through. During the last minute or two of cooking, place a slice of cheese over each patty to melt a little. (alternatively there is no reason why you can't cook these on a griddle or frying pan...just melt a bit of butter and/or oil in the pan first)
4
Slather some of the olive topping on each side of the cut buns. Place a burger and a little lettuce over and cover with the top bun.
