Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 g Ground pork
- 225 g Chorizo sausage (raw, casing removed)
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tsp Smoked paprika
- 0.5 tsp Ground cumin
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 tbsp Vegetable oil (for cooking, if pan-frying)
- 4 Burger buns
- 1 variety Toppings of choice (lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, etc.)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork with the raw chorizo sausage (ensure the casing is removed). Mix gently using your hands or a spoon until evenly combined.
Add the minced garlic, smoked paprika, ground cumin, salt, and black pepper to the meat mixture. Mix thoroughly but avoid overworking the meat to maintain tender burgers.
Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a patty, about 1 inch thick. Use your thumb to make a small indentation in the center of each patty to prevent it from puffing up during cooking.
If grilling, preheat the grill to medium-high heat and lightly oil the grates. If pan-frying, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Cook the patties for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown, slightly charred, and fully cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F/71°C). Avoid pressing down on the patties while cooking to retain their juices.
Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.
Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun and adding your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, or condiments.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chorizo and Pork Burgers!
