Mini Burgers with Smoky Tomato Chutney
Smokiness is delivered to the chutney in two ways: by charring the tomato peels before pureeing them and by adding smoked Spanish paprika. The resulting sweet-tart-smoky sauce contrasts nicely with miniature beef patties, made even richer and juicier by the addition of frozen butter before shaping.
