Ingredients
- 6 chorizo sausages
FOR THE CHIMICHURRI
- 1 Jalapeño finely chopped
- ½ small white onion minced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/4 cup minced fresh cilantro
- 1/4 cup minced fresh flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh oregano
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
FOR THE SALSA CRIOLA
- 1 small red bell pepper finely chopped
- ½ small white onion finely chopped
- 1 small tomato chopped
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
- 1 teaspoon minced fresh oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
FOR SERVING
- Lightly toasted buns
Instructions
- Heat one side of your grill to medium-high heat and the other to low for indirect cooking. Lightly oil the grates.
- Set the sausages on the cooler side of the grill and let cook about 20 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are mostly cooked through.
- Set them onto the hot side of the grill and cook them another 4-5 minutes per side, until they are nicely browned. The internal temperature should be 150 degrees F.
- While the sausages are cooking, make your salsa by combining all the salsa ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Toss and set aside.
- Add the chimichurri ingredients to a separate bowl and whisk together. Adjust for salt if you’d like.
- Serve the sausage on toasted buns and top with salsa and chimichurri.
Notes
- Heat Factor: Medium, though your overall heat factor may change based on the brand of chorizo you purchase. The chimichurri and salsa criolla are fairly mild in heat, but have a LOT of flavor.
