The Secret Ingredient (Chorizo): Chorizo Burgers with Manchego and Paprika Slaw
Mexican chorizo, as opposed to Spanish, is raw, and can be bought in sausage links, or just in a package (pictured in the procedure) as ready-ground sausage meat. I tend to do unorthodox things with my secret ingredients, and I thought a chorizo burger might be the perfect American makeover for chorizo. Of course, as chorizo is pork, that means you have to cook it all the way through. I combine it with ground beef, and melt Cordobes or Manchego over the top, and crown with a cool slaw stained with the smoked paprika in the chorizo. The bun soaks up all that delicious chorizo oil. A summer grilling holiday.
