The method

Step by step

1
Prepare the chimichurri: In a small bowl, combine the fresh parsley, fresh oregano, garlic, red wine vinegar, olive oil, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Let the chimichurri sit for at least 10 minutes for the flavors to meld.
2
Preheat your grill to medium heat.
About 5 min
Cook’s note: Ensure the grill grates are clean to prevent sticking.
3
Place the chorizo sausages on the preheated grill.
4
Grill the chorizo for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until cooked through and nicely browned.
About 20 min
Cook’s note: To check for doneness, you can make a small cut in the thickest part of a sausage; it should be firm and no longer pink.
5
During the last few minutes of grilling, lightly toast the cut sides of the crusty bread rolls on the grill.
About 2 min
Cook’s note: Watch the bread carefully to prevent burning.
6
Once cooked, remove the chorizo from the grill and slice each sausage lengthwise, but not all the way through, so it opens like a butterfly.
About 1 min
7
Place one butterflied chorizo into each toasted bread roll.
About 1 min
8
Spoon a generous amount of chimichurri over the chorizo.
About 1 min
Cook’s note: Adjust the amount of chimichurri to your taste.
9
Serve immediately and enjoy your Choripán.
