Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 package, 16 to 18 ounces, extra crispy style frozen fries
1 1/2 pounds ground chicken breast
1 cup flat-leaf parsley, divided - 3 or 4 handfuls of leaves
7 cloves garlic, finely chopped, divided
4 teaspoons sweet paprika, divided
4 teaspoons hot sauce, divided
2 lemons zested, 1 cut into wedges after zesting
2 1/2 tablespoons grill seasoning (recommended: Montreal Steak Seasoning by McCormick), divided
Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
1/2 pound chorizo, peeled from casing, cut into 4 (3-inch) pieces, butterfly each piece*
1 cup pimiento peppers, jarred or canned, drained well
1 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup chopped onion
Salt
4 jumbo shrimp or prawns, 8 count per pound, peeled and deveined and butterflied*
3 tablespoons butter
4 Portuguese rolls (slightly sweet rectangular crusty rolls), split, any crusty bread or roll of choice may also be substituted here
2 cups chopped romaine lettuce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to temperature on back of sack of fries and scatter them across a thin nonstick cookie sheet in a single layer. Cook fries according to package directions.
  • Preheat a large griddle or nonstick skillet over medium-high to high heat.
  • Place chicken in a bowl. Separate out a handful of the parsley leaves and leave them whole. Chop the remaining and take half of the chopped parsley and place it in the bowl with the chicken. Add 3 cloves of the chopped garlic, a little less than half the total amount. Next, add 2 teaspoons or a palm full of paprika, about 2 teaspoon hot sauce and the zest of 1 lemon. Measure out a palm full then half again of the grill seasoning and add that to the chicken. Pour a healthy drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil around the inside of the bowl using a spatula. Mix the chicken and form 4 patties. Wash up and add the patties to the grill. Cook 5 minutes on each side.
  • Place the chorizo above or alongside burgers. Try to weight the chorizo down to keep it from curling up by topping a plate or small skillet on the sausage and adding something heavy from your pantry like canned goods to weight it down. Cook sausage just 2 or 3 minutes on each side. It is already fully cooked, you're just crisping the edges and heating it through.
  • Place the pimiento peppers and mayonnaise in a food processor and add the whole parsley leaves, the chopped onion, the zest of a lemon, 2 teaspoons hot sauce and a few pinches of salt. Turn the processor on and grind until the dressing is smooth and even.
  • Squeeze a little lemon juice over the shrimp or prawns, about 1 tablespoon then season them with a little coarse salt and drizzle them with EVOO. Grill the butterflied shrimp or prawns alongside the burgers, 2 minutes on each side, weighting them as you did the chorizo.
  • Remove the patties and shrimp and add to the chorizo ¿ loosely tenting to keep warm. Drizzle rolls with extra-virgin olive oil and place cut side down on grill. Weight the rolls down and press to toast and char them on both sides.
  • Melt butter together with remaining 4 cloves chopped garlic and 2 teaspoons sweet paprika over low heat until garlic sizzles in butter. Remove the fries from the oven and place in a large bowl. Add the chopped parsley to the bowl and pour the melted garlic butter over the fries then season with salt to your taste.
  • Add chopped lettuce to roll bottoms then top with chorizo, chicken patty and shrimp. Slather the bun top with pimiento mayonnaise and set in place. Serve extra mayonnaise with fries for dipping.

SMOKY ROASTED CHICKPEAS WITH LEMON-GARLIC MAYONNAISE



Smoky Roasted Chickpeas With Lemon-Garlic Mayonnaise image

This recipe is inspired by the popular Spanish tapa patatas bravas, or papas bravas, crispy potatoes that are typically served with a paprika-stained sauce or a garlic aioli. Here, chickpeas crisped in the oven instead of the fryer are seasoned with smoked paprika and ground cayenne, then swaddled in a garlicky mayonnaise cut with lemon. Eat half a batch of these chickpeas for a great dinner, or eat them over lemon-dressed lettuces or parsley, steamed greens, pasta, toast or a fried egg. You can also roast another vegetable with the chickpeas, like cauliflower, broccoli, potatoes or carrots for a complete one-pan meal.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (15-ounce) cans chickpeas, drained, rinsed and patted very dry
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest, plus 1 tablespoon juice (from 1 lemon)
1/4 teaspoon ground cayenne
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 garlic clove, finely grated

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Transfer the chickpeas to a baking sheet and drizzle with the olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Roast the chickpeas, shaking a few times, until they're dry and bronzed, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Right when the chickpeas come out of the oven, sprinkle with the paprika, lemon zest and cayenne. Shake vigorously to fully coat, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • While the chickpeas roast, in a small bowl, stir together the mayonnaise, lemon juice and garlic. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer the chickpeas to a serving plate (or leave them on the baking sheet). Drizzle with mayonnaise, and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The fresher the ingredients, the better the sauce will taste. This is especially true for the paprika, which should be vibrant in color and have a strong aroma.
  • Choose the right type of paprika: There are many different types of paprika available, each with its own unique flavor profile. For this recipe, it is best to use a sweet or smoked paprika. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment: This recipe is a great starting point, but feel free to adjust the ingredients to suit your own taste. You can add more or less garlic,辣椒, or vinegar, or even try using a different type of oil.
  • Let the sauce rest: After you have made the sauce, let it rest for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will allow the flavors to develop and mellow.

Conclusion:

Spanish paprika mayo sauce is a versatile and flavorful sauce that can be used on a variety of dishes. It is perfect for grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and even as a dipping sauce for chips or bread. With its smoky, sweet, and slightly spicy flavor, this sauce is sure to please everyone at your table.
