  • 1/4 white onion diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 tsp cumin

Instructions

For Chimichurri:

  1. Do your prep work first, chop up herbs, onions and garlic. Measure out all ingredients. Get out your trusty Food Processor!

  2. Place all the ingredients in the food processor and pulse until combined. 

  3. Now place in a food safe dish and it will stay good for around a week. Put it on all your grilled foods!

For Grilled Red Peppers:

  1. Cut the bell peppers in half, remove the seeds and white ribby parts.

  2. Brush both sides of the bell peppers with olive oil and season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. Get your grill nice and hot then place bell peppers on the grill skin side down. Grill the peppers until the skin blisters, turn over and cook for another two minutes. Place on a plate and set aside.

For the Burgers:

  1. Prep work first! Get out your Kitchen Aid, ground meat, egg, and chopped onion.

  2. Combine venison, chorizo, egg, and onion in the Kitchen Aid with the paddle attachment. Stir until combined, then form 4 patties.

  3. Get grill hot, place patties on grill for about 4-8 minutes a side depending on the temperature of your grill. Then let your burger rest for 5 minutes.

  4. Now let's assemble this awesomeness! Take a burger, a roasted red pepper and garnish with chimichurri. Enjoy!
