Equipment

  • 1 wood fired or wood pellet style grill or a gas grill with a smoke box added
  • 1 pair tongs
  • 1 sharp knife

Ingredients
  

  • 6 fresh chorizo link sausages preferably Argentinian style
  • 6 sturdy hoagie rolls or a baguette cut into chorizo lengths, or fresh, long, crusty bakery rolls
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup Chimichurri sauce or more to taste
  • 1 cup Salsa a la criolla or more to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare and light your grill for medium direct heat, whether using a pellet style grill, charcoal grill, or gas grill. You can also use a grill pan over medium heat. 
  • Arrange the chorizo links on the grill or grill pan and slowly roast, using tongs to turn occasionally, until the chorizo sausages are well-seared on the outside and cooked through to an internal temperature of 160ºF. 
  • Hold each link with a pair of tongs and use a sharp paring knife to butterfly the sausage lengthwise. Spread the sausage open and flip it over, cut side down.
  • Slice the rolls lengthwise and open them carefully. Divide and drizzle the olive oil over the cut sides of the rolls and lay them cut side down on the grill or grill pan next to the sausages.
  • Char the insides of the sausages and lightly toast the bread. Remove to a pan.
  • To Assemble the Choripan:
    Place one sausage link inside each bun or roll. Divide the chimichurri and salsa a la criolla between the chorizos. Serve immediately with many napkins.
