Choripán

Ingredients

For the Sausage:
4 chorizo sausages
For the Chimichurri Sauce:
1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
For the Sandwich:
4 crusty rolls or baguettes
1/2 cup mayonnaise (optional)
1/2 cup shredded lettuce (optional)
1/2 cup sliced tomatoes (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce

In a bowl, combine the chopped parsley, chopped cilantro, red wine vinegar, olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well and let it sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Grill the Sausages

Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If using charcoal, allow the coals to burn until they are covered with white ash.

Place the chorizo sausages on the grill and cook for about 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through.

Prepare the Rolls

While the sausages are grilling, slice the rolls or baguettes lengthwise but not all the way through, so they remain hinged.

If desired, spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on the inside of each roll.

Assemble the Choripán

Place a grilled chorizo sausage in each roll. If desired, add shredded lettuce and sliced tomatoes.
