    • 1 clove garlic crushed
    • 1 tsp sweet smoked paprika
    • 1 tbsp tomato puree
    • 300g/10½oz lean steak mince

    1. Heat 1 tbsp of the olive oil in a pan over a medium heat. Add the onion and fry for a couple of minutes, then add the garlic and then the paprika and stir in well. Add the tomato puree and stir in.
    2. In a large bowl mix together the mince, chorizo, parsley, egg and breadcrumbs. Add the onion mixture and mix together well. Season with salt and pepper. Form into 4 large burgers, or 8 small ones.

Fry the burgers (in batches if needed) for 2–3 minutes on each side until just browned, then transfer to the oven and cook for a further 6 minutes. Remove from the oven, place a slice of cheddar on top of each burger, then return to the oven for 2–4 minutes until cooked as you like them.
