Remove seeds from 4-5 long red chilies and roughly chop them.

Drizzle olive oil into a small pot and add the chopped chilies over low heat to gently cook.

Add dried oregano, smoked paprika, and bruised garlic to the pot and swirl to combine.

Add ginger and a pinch of salt, then let the mixture simmer gently.

In a food processor, chop 250 grams of button mushrooms until finely chopped.

In a bowl, add 250 grams of ground chicken and the finely chopped mushrooms.

Add 1 egg, more oregano, minced garlic, panko breadcrumbs, salt, and black pepper to the chicken and mushroom mixture.

Mix the ingredients until well combined, then divide into four portions and form into balls.

Chill the patties in the fridge for about 1 hour before cooking.

Heat olive oil in a pan and press the patties down to form large patties while cooking.

Add cheese to the patties and cover with a lid to melt the cheese.

Toast the burger buns and assemble the burgers with Peri Peri sauce, mayonnaise, lettuce, and the cooked patties.
