Instructions
- Make the pork sliders by adding the ground pork, guajillo paste, ghost pepper, bread crumbs and seasonings to a mixing bowl. Hand mix, but do not overmix or the burgers can become mealy.
- Form the meat into 6 2-ounce patties. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
- When you’re ready to cook, heat a grill pan to medium heat and coat the pan with olive oil. Cook the sliders about 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through.
- As sliders are cooking, add sliced chili peppers and sugar to a large pan. Add enough vinegar just to cover them. Bring to a quick boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
- For the Guajillo Mayo, whisk together mayo, guajillo paste and vinegar.
- Add sliders to buns, top with Guajillo Mayo and lightly pickled peppers.
Notes
- Makes 6 sliders.
- Heat Factor: HOT. You'll get PLENTY of heat from the ghost peppers, but if you'd prefer a milder version, skip the ghost pepper or replace it with something milder to your preference. A habanero pepper will still give you plenty of heat, or go with a similar amount of diced sweet pepper.
- I served these up with some quick pickled jalapeno peppers for a bit of zing.
- Try this Homemade Ancho-Guajillo Chili Paste Recipe to make these sliders, or try this Homemade Harissa Chili Paste, which is GREAT as well. Or use a store bought version.
