Chorizo spices up the flavour of these gourmet-style burgers, topped with crispy cured pork.

150g fresh chorizo, casing removed, crumbled
500g lean beef mince
2 tsp sweet smoked paprika (pimenton)
2 tbs chopped fat-leaf parsley leaves
2 tbs olive oil
1 onion, finely chopped
2 tomatoes, finely chopped
1/4 cup (60ml) Ardmona Pureed Tomatoes
4 slices jamon or prosciutto
4 slices tasty cheese
4 brioche or burger buns, split, toasted
Rocket leaves, to serve

Method

1.

Place chorizo, mince, 1 tsp paprika and 1 tbs parsley in a food processor and pulse to combine. Season, then form into 4 patties. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up.
2.

Heat 1 tbs oil in a frypan over medium heat. Cook onion for 1-2 minutes until softened. Add tomato, passata and remaining 1 tsp paprika, then cook for a further 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Stir through remaining 1 tbs parsley and season.
3.

Preheat a chargrill pan to medium-high. Cook jamon on both sides until crisp. Remove and keep warm. Brush patties with remaining 1 tbs oil. Cook, turning, for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Place slices of cheddar over each patty and cook for a further 1 minute or until melted.
4.

To serve, divide half the relish among bun bases, then top each with rocket, a patty, more relish, jamon and bun lids.
