So I decided last night I'd make the Chorizo Burgers with Red Onion Marmalade. I really fancied a burger on the barbecue but I still went for the oven/grill option as I prepared everything inside.
Here's Head Chef Patrick's recipe for Chorizo and Pinenut Burgers with Red Onion Marmalade!

Oh my god, I can't even explain how delicious these burgers were. They were a little oily/fatty but I believe that was due to the chorizo as the oil was bright orange/red like the chorizo. But other than that. The taste and texture of the burgers were delicious.
You may have noticed that I didn't put the pinenuts in, this is because I lost them! Oh! Go knows how, maybe they were accidentally thrown away. I think if the pine nuts were included then it would have added a lovely crunch texture to the burgers.
The onion marmalade were sweet yet tangy with slightly crunchy, yum!
