grilled chorizo + Chimichurri

Choripan is a traditional Argentinean appetizer or snack consisting of grilled chorizo on toasted bread topped with a heavy-handed dollop of chimichurri sauce. There’s nothing particularly complicated about this dish. You just need good sausage, good crusty bread and an amazing freshly made chimichurri!

a r g e n t i n e - c h o r i p a n

Choripan• 8 chorizo sausages (ideally, 70% beef, 30% pork)• 2-3 long french baguettes, cut into pieces of the same length as your chorizo and then cut to open up like a sandwich• 2 tablespoons butter, melted (optional spread on bread)

• Pickled onions (optional garnish)

Chimichurri

• 1 bunch of parsley (ideally flat leaf Italian), finely chopped to make at least 1 cup packed

• 4-5 cloves garlic, minced

• 2 small shallots, minced

• 1/4 cup olive oil (extra virgin)• 1 teaspoon sea salt

Stage 1: Make Chimichurri Ahead of Time

1. In a medium sized bowl, add your parsley, garlic and shallots

2. Mix in your olive oil and stir well, then add the sea salt, black pepper, chili pepper flakes and oregano. Combine until all spices are evenly distributed

3. Next, mix in your red wine vinegar and lemon juice

4. Lastly, place the chimichurri in the fridge. You want the flavors of the different ingredients to meld together before it’s time to serve onto your choripan (at least 30 mins)

Stage 2: Grill your Choripan

1. Start by preheating your grill to a medium/medium-low flame

2. With your grill is ready to go, place your chorizo directly onto the grill and let it sit for about 4-5 mins on each side

3. If you’d like (and we recommend it), brush your pieces of baguette bun with melted butter and place on the grill. Let the bun grill for 1-2 minutes or until it has some nice lightly toasted marks before taking off with your chorizo

4. Take your chorizo off the grill and place directly into the baguette/buns. Pour chimichurri over your choripan along with any other desired garnishes, and enjoy!

Note: This is best served with steamed rice and can easily be made on the side while cooking this dish.
