Preparation

Chipotle mayonnaise: in a bowl, combine mayonnaise, chipotle pepper powder, and chopped chives, then season with salt. Mix well and refrigerate.
In a large bowl, mix pork, chorizo, shallot, sage, garlic, and parsley, then season with salt and pepper. Form 6 patties and refrigerate.
Preheat the BBQ to high heat (or a cast-iron skillet over medium heat), then reduce to medium. Oil the grill.
Grill the patties for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Add cheese to the patty during the last minute of cooking to allow it to melt.
Meanwhile, lightly butter the buns and grill them for a few minutes on the BBQ.
Spread about 1 tbsp of chipotle mayonnaise on the bottom bun and add about 2 lettuce leaves. Place a patty on the lettuce, followed by a tomato slice and a handful of red cabbage. Add a dash of ketchup to the top bun, then close the burger.
