Emeril's Pork and Chorizo Burgers with Green Chile Mayonnaise
YIELD 4 Burgers
INGREDIENTS
| Pork Chorizo Burgers: | |
| 1/2 pound | chorizo, outer casings removed, cut into 1-inch pieces |
| 1 1/2 pounds | ground pork |
| 1 tablespoon | minced garlic |
| 2 teaspoons | Worcestershire sauce |
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | Jared's Southwestern Rub |
| 3/4 teaspoon | salt |
| 1/4 teaspoon | cayenne pepper |
| 4 | large hamburger buns, or 4 (6-inch) lengths French bread, split in half crosswise |
| 1 cup | coarsely grated pepper jack cheese, optional |
| Green Chile Mayonnaise, recipe follows | |
| Green Chile Mayonnaise: | |
| 1 cup | good-quality mayonnaise |
| 1 teaspoon | minced garlic |
| 1 | poblano pepper, roasted and peeled |
| 1 tablespoon | fresh lime juice |
| Salt and freshly ground black pepper | |
PREPARATION:
Pork Chorizo Burgers:
- Preheat the grill to medium-high.
- Place the chorizo in a food processor and process until finely chopped (sausage should appear crumbly). Transfer to a large bowl and add the ground pork, garlic, Worcestershire, Rub, salt and cayenne and mix gently but thoroughly, being careful not to overwork the mixture. Form the mixture into 4 (1-inch) thick patties, about 8 ounces each, and place on the grill. Cook to desired doneness, about 5 minutes per side for medium. During the last 2 minutes of grilling, toast the buns and sprinkle the cheese over the tops of the burgers, if desired, and cook until melted.
- Transfer the burgers to the bottom of the buns and place on plates. Generously top each burger with 2 tablespoons of the Green Chile Mayonnaise and place the tops of the buns over the sauce. Serve immediately.
Green Chile Mayonnaise:
- In the bowl of a food processor, combine the mayonnaise, garlic, poblano, and lime juice and process until smooth. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
