Chorizo burgers with grilled capsicum

Step 1

Place the chorizo and sausage meat in a bowl and mix with your hands until well combined. Shape mixture into 6 large or 8 smaller patties and chill for 15 minutes to firm up.

Step 2

Meanwhile, place the garlic, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil and mayonnaise in a small bowl and mix until combined. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then set aside.

Step 3

Heat the grill or a chargrill pan on medium heat. Grill the capsicum for 3-4 minutes until the skin blisters and the flesh softens. Set aside.

Step 4

Brush the burgers with oil, then cook under the grill or on the chargrill for 3-4 minutes each side until cooked through. (The chorizo has a tendency to burn, so keep an eye on the burgers, reducing the heat if necessary.)

Step 5

To serve, top warmed pita rounds with grilled capsicum, a chorizo burger and rocket, then drizzle over aioli and serve.
