Your favourite tapas dish, but turned into a burger. All of the elements of patatas bravas (crispy potatoes, tomatoey bravas sauce, and aioli), with the extra special additions of chorizo patties and zingy parsley salad.
Start by making the bravas sauce. Add everything to the pan, then leave to simmer for 20 minutes on a low heat or until thickened. Set aside.
Finely chop the potatoes into matchsticks, then pat dry. Fry in 180 C oil until golden and crispy. Place on a paper towel lined tray, then add to a metal bowl. Sprinkle over paprika, garlic powder, and salt.Â
For the patties, mix together beef mince and chorizo, then form patties. Smash down into a pan. Once there’s a nice crust, flip and place manchego on top. Turn down to low, then cover with a lid.Â
Toss together parsley, red onion, and thinly sliced pepperoncinis with a squeeze of lemon and pinch of salt.
Toast a brioche bun, then spread the tomato bravas sauce liberally on the bottom, then parsley and red onion salad. Top with the patty (or patties), and a handful of the fries. Spread aioli on the top bun, then enjoy!
