Impress With Less Stress Meals (part 1) - Chicken & Chorizo Burgers in Brioche

Chicken & Chorizo Burgers in Brioche

Ingredients

·         200g soft cooking chorizo

·         300g chicken or turkey mince

·         1tsp dried oregano

·         Salt and freshly ground black pepper

·         1dsp olive oil (optional)

·         400g brioche loaf

·         200g jar of oven-roasted

·         peppers, drained

·         2 tomatoes, sliced

Recipe

·         Remove the skin from the chorizo, chop roughly and put it in a food processor with the chicken or turkey mince, oregano and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse until totally combined. With damp hands, divide into 4 fat patties 9-10cm wide. Place on a plate, cover and chill in the fridge for at least 20 mins.

·         Prepare the barbecue and grill the patties on medium-high heat for 8-10 mins on each side until cooked. Or fry them in a large non-stick frying pan in the olive oil for 8-10 mins on each side until done.

·         Cut 8 thick slices of the brioche and, if barbecuing, put them on the grill for 1 min on each side to char, or cook under the grill. To assemble each burger, use 2 slices of toasted brioche per serving, and layer up the oven-roasted peppers, sliced tomato and burger between the slices.

Less stress

Make the burgers up to a day ahead. If you don’t have a food processor, use a fork to mix the turkey and seasoning.
