- 1/2 pound ground Portuguese chourico or linguica

Directions
To make the orange-garlic aioli:
In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, orange juice, zest and garlic; Refrigerate to chill until ready to use.
Prepare an open grill for moderate direct heat cooking.
In a small frying pan, saute the ground chourico or linguica in the olive oil, add wine and tomato sauce, remove from pan and let cool.
When the chourico is cool, in a large bowl, combine chourico to the ground beef and form 4 patties to fit the rolls.
When the fire is ready, brush the grill rack with oil.
Grill the patties until done to preference, turning once, 8 to 10 minutes medium rare.
During the last few minutes of cooking, place the rolls cut side down, on the outer edges of the grill until lightly toasted.
Spread the orange aioli on the cut sides of the rolls.
Top the bottom roll with a bed of cilantro leaves, then the burger. Top each burger with a sliced ring of fresh pineapple, then the roll top.

Definately different. I ate the pinapple for dessert by itself. My mixture made 6 patties. The sauce tasted weird alone, but combined with the sandwich, it was really good

It sounds great and I want to make it but have questions for those who've already reviewed. Why do you cook the sausage? Are you cooking it through? It seems like it would be difficult to incorporate cooked sausage into raw beef?

I left out the sausage. The mayo spread is awesome. I used potato bread and it worked well.
