Food, glorious food!

Pork & Chorizo Burgers

Pork & Chorizo Burgers

Serves: 2
Ingredients

300g Pork Mince (Not too fatty)
100g Chorizo, finely diced (about 3mm dice)
1 green or red chilli (heat and colour to your preference)
2 Tbsp Coriander or Flat Leaf Parsley (Optional)
Freshly ground black paper & sea salt
Olive Oil
4 Ciabatta Rolls
Salad to garnish
Mild salsa or garlic mayo

Method

  • Put the pork mince, diced chorizo and chopped chilli with a little black pepper and salt into a bowl and add the herbs if using.
  • Mix lightly together, do not knead the meat as this will make the burgers tough.
  • To be sure of seasoning you can pinch a small amount of the mixture off and quickly fry it off in a pan, taste and adjust the seasoning if required.
  • Now split the mixture into four equal portions and with oiled hands form into burger shapes. We like them about 1.5cm thick so they stay juicy in the middle when cooked but shape them to your preference.
  • Fry without oil in a heavy based non-stick pan or a griddle or use a health grill on full blast for 5 minutes each side turning just once.
  • Serve in ciabatta rolls with rocket leaves, sliced tomatoes, pickles or whatever you prefer with a healthy dollop of salsa or mayo.
