Ingredients

  • 4 Chorizo sausages
  • 1 French baguette, cut into 5″ pieces (cut as long as the sausages!)
  • 1/2 cup parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup cilantro, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup mint, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp oregano
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, grated
  • 1 roma tomato, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup roasted red peppers, finely diced

Directions

  1. Begin by grilling your chorizo sausages. On a medium heat grill (or grill pan) the sausages, turning frequently for 9-12 minutes or until just cooked through. Set aside and let cool slightly.
  2. Make the chimichurri by combining the parsley, cilantro, mint, oregano, vinegar, oil, garlic, tomato, and roasted red pepper and mix well with a pinch of salt.
  3. When ready to serve, cut each sausage lengthwise to open, but not cut in half. Spread open each sausage then place back on the grill (add a cast-iron press to apply pressure on the sausages if you have!). Grill again a few minutes on each side to char. Add some oil to the bread and grill to get some colour, then add the butterflied sausages. Spoon in a generous amount of the chimichurri into each sandwich then enjoy with the football match!
