Choripán (The Best Argentinian Sandwich)
Servings: 1 Sandwich
Ingredients
- 1 small baguette/bread roll
- 1 chorizo sausage
Chimichurri Sauce
- a handful of fresh coriander, finely chopped
- a handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped
- 1 garlic clove, finely chopped
- ½ large red chili, finely chopped
- ½ white onion, finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Salsa Criolla
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 5 plum tomatoes, finely chopped
- ½ tablespoon olive oil
- ½ teaspoon chili flakes
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- In a large bowl, add in all of your chopped-up chimichurri ingredients. Stir well and then set aside in the fridge.
- In another bowl, add in your chopped-up salsa criolla ingredients. Combine well and then set aside.
- Heat up a frying pan and add in a teaspoon of oil. Place the chorizo into the pan and fry for 5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
- Remove the chorizo from the pan and slice in half lengthways. Don't cut all the way through, just open it up like a butterfly (see tutorial on Instagram if you're struggling).
- Get your small baguette roll and slice in half but not all the way through. Place it face down onto the frying pan that you used to cook the chorizo, and fry for 3 minutes on medium heat.
- Remove the roll from the pan and put it on a plate. Serve up by adding on the chimichurri sauce, chorizo, and the salsa criolla...enjoy!
