Recipe Instructions
Step 1: Prepare & cook the patties
- Form the chorizo into 2 patties (double for 4 portions).
- In a grill pan (or large pan), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the patties* and cook, 3 to 5 min. per side, until cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and reserve the pan.
- Sausage meat: same instruction as above.
- Impossible™ Beef: 2 to 4 min. per side.
Step 2: Make the pickled shallot
- Meanwhile, halve and peel the shallot; thinly slice ½ and mince the remaining ½.
- In a small bowl, microwave ½ the vinegar, 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions) and S&P, 30 sec. to 1 min., until warm.
- Add the sliced shallot.
- Set aside to pickle.
Step 3: Mise en place
- Quarter and core the poblano lengthwise. In a second small bowl, toss with a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- Pick the mint leaves off the stems; roughly chop the leaves.
- In a large bowl, make the chimichurri by combining the mint, minced shallot, remaining vinegar, a drizzle of oil and S&P.
- In a third small bowl, combine the mayo, ½ the chimichurri and S&P.
Step 4: Cook the poblano & make the slaw
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the poblano and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned.
- Transfer to a cutting board and reserve the pan.
- Once cool enough, small-dice.
- To the bowl of remaining chimichurri, add the poblano, cabbage and a generous drizzle of oil; toss well.
Step 5: Toast the buns & serve
- In the reserved pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the buns, cut-sides down, and toast, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through.
- Divide the bun bottoms between your plates.
- Top each bun bottom with a spoonful of the chimichurri mayo, a patty, a spoonful of the slaw, the pickled shallot (drain before adding) and a bun top.
- Serve the remaining chimichurri mayo and slaw on the side. Bon appétit!
