Ingredients
2 tbsp vegetable oil
4 slices of Cheddar cheese
50g rocket
4 ciabatta rolls

Ingredients for the burgers
100g cooking chorizo
300g pork, minced
1 onion, very finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato ketchup
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
½ tsp sweet smoked paprika
1 tbsp parsley, very finely chopped
2 tbsps medium matzo meal (or 6 water biscuits, finely crushed)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp ground black pepper

Ingredients for the spicy mayo
6 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
2 tsp sriracha
8 pickled gherkins, finely diced

Method
Before you start, weigh your empty bowl on the scales and make a note of the weight.

Remove the skin from the chorizo and blitz in a small food processor (or chop up very small).  Put into a bowl along with all the other burger ingredients and, with your hands, squish and mix the ingredients together.  If you don't like the feel of the meat on your hands, wear gloves. Weigh the bowl and calculate how much mixture you have and divide by 4 to get the weight of your burgers. Roll into a ball and squash down to get a neat burger patty that is a similar size to your bun.  Repeat with the remaining mixture.

Put your burgers on to a plate, cover with cling film and put into the fridge for at least an hour, I don't use an egg to bind the burger and so it needs the time in the fridge to hold it together.  I try to make this around lunchtime so it has plenty of time but an hour should be long enough.

To make your mayonnaise, mix all of the ingredients together in a small bowl, check the seasoning and adjust if needed.  Cover and put into the fridge.

When you are ready to cook, either fire up your braai or bbq and wait for the flames to die down and the coals to go white hot, you want to cook these over indirect heat so either put in your deflector plate or bank the coals to one side. They will take 5-7 minutes each side. Turn the burger and put the cheese on the top and put the lid down and cook for 5 more minutes.  Check the burger is cooked.

Heat the oil in the large frying pan over medium heat. How many patties you can cook at one time will depend on the size of your pan, if you need to cook in batches, turn the oven on to 180c and turn off when you put the first batch in. When the oil is hot, add the burgers and fry them for roughly 5-7 minutes and then turn and cook for another 5-7 minutes before turning and adding the cheese. Once the cheese is on your burger, put on a lid and leave for roughly 3 minutes.

While the burgers are resting, cut the buns and toast them.

Put a spoonful of the mayo on the top and bottom of each bun, put a burger on each of the bottom halves, top with rocket, put the lid on and eat while warm.
