Ingredients

Sandwich:

  • 2-3 lbs Ground Chorizo Sausage
  • 10-12 Sliced Provolone Cheese
  • 5-6 Small Sandwich Rolls hoagie or baguette

Tomato Chimichurri:

  • ½ cup Parsley chopped
  • ¼ cup Red Wine Vinegar
  • ¼ cup Diced Tomatoes
  • 4-6 Garlic Cloves minced
  • 1 tbsp Red Chili Flakes
  • 1 tsp Black Pepper
  • Olive Oil to desired consistency
  • Salt to taste

Habanero Mayonnaise:

  • ½ cup Mayonnaise
  • 1 tbsp Garlic Paste
  • 1 tbsp Habanero Hot Sauce

Instructions

  • Begin by slicing your small sandwich rolls in half and separating the top from the bottom (set the tops to the side to be used later). Next, carefully pull out the excess bread from the bottom half so that you create a divot in the bun. Stuff the divot with provolone cheese, then take a handful of your ground chorizo sausage and cover the cheese with it. Make sure to spread out the ground sausage all over the bread so it completely covers the cheese. Once done, set that to the side and begin working on the next roll until all the rolls are completed. Once all the rolls are done, place them in the fridge for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  • In another bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the chimichurri sauce. Set to the side. Again in another bowl, mix together the ingredients for your Habanero Mayonnaise. Set to the side.
  • Preheat a medium heat fire (around 325F) for direct grilling.
  • Take out the bread and place it over the coals with the chorizo face down. Cook over the heat for about 15-17 minutes until the sausage is 165F internal or completely cooked through. If you have flare ups, make sure to move the bread around in order to prevent them. Once done, pull the sausage bread off and keep warm until ready to use. At this time, add the top buns to the grill and cook till they are nice and golden brown.
  • Serve the Cheese Stuffed Choripan with some tomato chimichurri, habanero mayonnaise and the top bun. Enjoy!
