Ingredients
- 6 lices Spanish chorizo approx
- 1 roasted piquillo pepper (jarred)
- 1 bread roll (see notes)
- 1 oz manchego cheese approx, or other flavorful hard cheese
- 1 handful arugula rocket
Instructions
- Warm a small skillet/frying pan over a medium heat but don't add in any oil.
- Cut the piquillo peppers into slices, slice the cheese and open the bread roll through the middle.
- Place the chorizo slices in the pan and allow to crisp and brown slightly for around a minute or two then turn over. Cook on the other side another minute until crisp.
- Remove the chorizo from the pan but don't throw away the oil that has rendered. Carefully pour some or all of the chorizo oil into the inside of the bread - you can rub the inside of the bread right in the pan if there's not too much oil and it fits.
- Put a handful of arugula/rocket in each pitta then layer the piquillo pepper slices on top in each, followed by the cheese and chorizo slices.
- Serve and enjoy.

Notes
- Use a a spicy chorizo or mild chorizo as you prefer (affiliate links, meaning we earn commission on any qualifying purchases, but these are the brand I typically use, when available).
- For the bread, in Spain you find sandwiches in rolls that are a bit like small baguettes, so something similar would work, or else a ciabatta roll also works well.
