Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Bread
- 4 high-quality fresh chorizo sausages
- 4 crusty fresh bread rolls (soft inside)
Sauce and Toppings
- Chimichurri sauce (to taste)
- Fresh lettuce leaves
- Fresh tomato slices
- 1 large onion, sliced for grilling
- Optional: 4 slices provolone or mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill to medium-high heat to ensure sausages cook through evenly, achieve smoky charring on the outside, while staying juicy inside.
- Grill the Sausages: Place choripan sausages on the grill. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, turning occasionally to get even grill marks and prevent burning.
- Grill the Onions and Bread Rolls: While sausages cook, add sliced onions and bread rolls to the grill. Let onions caramelize and rolls toast until slightly crispy on the outside but still soft inside.
- Assemble Your Burger: Slice each grilled sausage lengthwise, not all the way through. Place sausage in the toasted roll, then layer fresh lettuce, tomato slices, grilled onions, and drizzle generously with chimichurri sauce.
- Add Cheese if Desired: Top with a slice of provolone or mozzarella cheese while the sausage is hot to allow it to melt, adding creamy richness to the burger.
Notes
- Choose fresh, spice-packed chorizo sausages for best flavor.
- Do not overcrowd the grill to ensure even cooking and proper searing.
- Toast bread rolls just before assembling to keep them from becoming soggy.
- Use fresh chimichurri made with herbs and good olive oil for authentic taste.
- Let sausages rest for a couple of minutes after grilling to seal in the juices.
