Choripan

Tam West

The choripan is a popular street food snack in Argentina. Incredibly simple but oh so good, it's just sausage, bread and chimichurri. Traditionally chorizo is used to fill a chargrilled baguette or roll, but any type of sausage can be used. Sometimes mayonnaise or salsa are added, or a combination of both.

Ingredients

6	Chorizo sausages (Main)
1	Baguette (Main)
½ cup	Chimichurri, see link to recipe below (Main)

For the Argentinian salsa

1 cup	Cherry tomatoes, quartered (Main)
1 Tbsp	Olive oil
1 pinch	Ground cumin
1 pinch	Smoked paprika
2 Tbsp	Finely chopped onion
¼ tsp	Crushed garlic
1 Tbsp	Fresh basil leaves, chopped (Main)

Directions

1. Cook chorizo on the barbecue or under the grill. When almost done, slice in half and continue cooking so they get a nice caramelised edge. Cook baguette on the grill until lightly toasted.
2. Mix salsa ingredients together. Spread chimichurri (link below) on the baguette, fill with chorizo and top with salsa.
