I followed the recipe to a \"t\" and as I was making this, all I could think about was how bad it looked. I trudged on...and finished it. So, I served it and it was NOT a hit like I was expecting. After I told my husband he didn't have to eat it, he said \"thanks!\" I was really wanting it to be good but it just wasn't.","datePublished":"2012-01-26"},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"floridadee"},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":"1","bestRating":"5"},"reviewBody":"Woweee!!

If you can't get your hands on fresh chorizo I feel sorry for you! These patties were so flavorful. I made them on my George Foreman grill so they cooked up super quick. Used whole wheat flatbread that I put on the grill as well. Try these!!\r
P.S. Yes, the patties are hard to shape so I sprayed the palms of my hands with cooking spray and they were much easier to handle.","datePublished":"2011-11-11"},{"@type":"Review","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Anonymous"},"reviewRating":{"@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":"1","bestRating":"5"},"reviewBody":"1st time using chorizo - I expected a little more heat - probably varies between chorizo used. Was not displeased with amount of heat - the only changes I made were ground turkey and fresh marjorum and a small amount of fresh parsley instead of oregano and I used gruyere cheese and thin wheat sandwich buns. With the carmelized onion this dish was delish.","datePublished":"2011-11-06"}],"video":{"@type":"VideoObject","name":"Chicken-Chorizo Patty Melt","description":"Sunny tops her grilled patty melts with caramelized onions for added taste.","duration":"PT0H3M02S","thumbnailUrl":"https://food.fnr.sndimg.com/content/dam/images/food/video/0/01/016/0165/0165923.jpg.rend.hgtvcom.406.229.suffix/1481335344852.jpeg","contentUrl":"https://www.foodnetwork.com/videos/chicken-chorizo-patty-melt-0165923","embedUrl":"http://link.theplatform.com/s/ip77QC/1RJ8wOwMKkFm?&format=SMIL&MBR=true","uploadDate":"2018-11-06T17:52:06.379-05:00"}}

Step 1
Patties: In a large bowl, gently but thoroughly combine all ingredients. Form into 4 equal-sized thin patties roughly the size of the bread you will be using or in the case of the naan, 1/2 the bread size. Cover the patties with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Step 2
Onions: In a medium saute pan on medium heat melt the butter with the oil. Add the onion and season with a pinch of salt and a couple of grinds of pepper, to taste. Saute until the onions are caramelized, about 35 minutes, and set aside.
Step 3
Preheat a griddle with 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Griddle the patties on the on both sides until crispy on the edges and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and wipe the griddle. Assemble the sandwiches by layering each bread 1/2 with a slice of cheese, a patty, another slice of cheese, onions, and the other bread 1/2, in that order. Brush or add 2 more tablespoons of oil to the griddle and put the sandwiches on the griddle. Press on the sandwich with a spatula to help toast evenly and hold the sandwich together. Cook until the cheese is melted and the bread is toasted, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve immediately with ketchup, for dipping.
