CHORIZO BURGERS WITH TOMATILLO-AVOCADO SALSA



Chorizo Burgers with Tomatillo-Avocado Salsa image

Is there any way to improve on chorizo, Mexico's addictively spicy sausage? Andrew Zimmern has an answer: Turn it into a burger-and top with a tomatillo-avocado salsa. (Note: Plan ahead-chorizo ingredients require 24 hours in the fridge.)

Provided by Andrew Zimmern

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 25

2 cloves garlic
1 tablespoon ground epazote (optional), found at Mexican specialty stores or online
1 tablespoon dried oregano
3 tablespoons chili powder
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 pounds ground pork
2 jalapeños, divided, one for the burgers, one for the salsa
2 tablespoons lime juice, about 2 limes
1 small yellow onion, about 1 cup, chopped
2 tablespoons Mexican dark beer, Negra Modelo suggested
2 chipotles in adobo, for extra heat, add 1 tablespoon adobo sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
8 ounces tomatillos
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 serrano chili, chopped
3 tablespoons lime juice, about 2?3 limes
1/3 cup chopped cilantro
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 small white onion, chopped
2 avocados
6 hamburger buns
Cotija, or other grated Mexican white cheese
Thinly sliced tomato

Steps:

  • Chorizo, part 1: Fill a small bowl with hot water. Smash garlic cloves, then place into the water for 15 seconds to loosen the skin. Peel garlic, then grate it with a microplane into a mixing bowl. Add epazote, oregano, chili powder, salt, cilantro, and pork.
  • Run metal skewers crosswise through the jalapeños to create a grid. Place them directly over the gas flame of a burner to blacken. Using the skewers, rotate jalapeños to char and blacken on all sides, about 5 minutes. (Alternatively, you can broil them, lightly oiled and on a sheet pan, in an oven, about 4 minutes per side.) Remove from heat and set aside to cool, 5 minutes.
  • Add lime juice to the meat mixture. Cut the onion into rings, stack them, and slice top to bottom to dice. Mince them further by rocking the knife back and forth over the dice, then add to the pork mixture, along with the beer. When jalapeños are cool, remove some of the black char with your fingers; set one aside for the salsa. Slice the other in half lengthwise, and remove the ribs and seeds. Finely chop it and add to the pork, along with the chipotles and optional adobo. Mix thoroughly. Cover and refrigerate 18-24 hours.
  • Salsa: Fill a medium bowl with hot water. Place tomatillos in the water to loosen the husk, 3-5 minutes. Put garlic, serrano chili, remaining charred jalapeño (seeded and chopped), cilantro, mint, and salt in a food processor. Remove tomatillos from the water and peel off the husk. Slice, then add to the food processor. Pulse about 30 times, until all ingredients are roughly uniform.
  • Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Run a spoon between the peel and flesh to remove each half in one piece. Place all four halves into the food processor. Pulse 6-8 more times. Taste, and add more salt if necessary. Place salsa into a bowl with chopped onions. Stir to combine, and set aside. (Makes 3 cups; store in the refrigerator up to 48 hours.)
  • Chorizo, part 2: Remove pork from refrigerator, and shape into 6 patties. Meanwhile, heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Toast buns in an even layer, cut side down, 2 minutes; set aside. Add 1 tablespoon oil to the skillet and heat until shimmering, 1 minute. Add burgers in an even layer (do not crowd) and season lightly with salt. Cook 5 minutes per side, until there's a brown crust on the outside and the internal temperature hits 150-155 F. Repeat with remaining oil, burgers, and buns.
  • Assembly: Place burgers on toasted buns. Top with a tomato slice, a dollop of salsa, and a teaspoon of grated cheese. Serve with remaining salsa on the side. Devour.

OAXACAN TURKEY BURGERS WITH CHIPOTLE SALSA



Oaxacan Turkey Burgers With Chipotle Salsa image

Although you will not find these turkey burgers at a local cantina in Oaxaca, I can vouch that they certainly did conjure up fond memories of the flavors in dishes I ate on some of my many journeys to Oaxaca. I could even imagine these burgers served at one of the open air market's concessions. I tip my hat once again to Steven Raichlen, my grilling hero, for yet another impressively creative and delicious burger. Minus some personal modifications to the recipe, this is the recipe that appeared in Burger. Make Ahead: The salsa makes about 2 cups and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator in a sealed container for 2 days. Beer Recommendation: A rich malty, roasty beer that absorbs the heat and provides a great counterpart to chipotles and grilled meat is a good choice to pair with these burgers. If you happen to find a Noche Buena, a great dark beer from Mexico, this would be my first choice. Second would be Negra Modelo, a slightly sweet brew with some fruitiness, it's malty for a Mexican beer and goes well with chipotles.

Mexican Bean Burgers W/ Lime Yogurt & Salsa image

I am trying to push full forced with my diet to finally reach my 100lbs lost target. So, I am collecting every low fat recipe that looks good to me and this is the latest one. I found it in the April 2009 of BBC good food magazine. The recipe says that the uncooked burgers can be frozen so they would be good to make ahead and have when I need something quick but also healthy.

Tips:

  • Season your beef: Season the ground beef with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika. You can also add other spices or herbs, such as chili powder, cumin, or oregano.
  • Form your burgers: Form the seasoned ground beef into 4 equal-sized patties. Make sure the patties are not too thick, or they will not cook evenly.
  • Cook your burgers: Cook the burgers over medium heat for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked to your desired doneness. If you are using a grill, cook the burgers over medium-high heat.
