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.)

Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Toast the burger buns lightly on the grill or in a toaster if desired.

Step 7

Assemble the burgers by placing each patty on a toasted bun and adding your preferred toppings such as lettuce, tomato, onion, cheese, or condiments.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade Chorizo and Pork Burgers!
