Choripan
Grilled chorizo sausage split and served on crusty bread with chimichurri, the iconic Argentine street sandwich.
Why It Works
Butterflying the sausage maximizes char surface area while ensuring the center cooks through; the bread soaks up rendered fat and chimichurri, becoming the flavor carrier.
