When it comes to the perfect recipe for backyard gatherings, you want something straightforward yet delicious that can also be easily adapted for stove cooking. 

Inspired by the Argentinean classic, choripan, I've taken a creative twist to craft something uniquely delightful. 

So long story short, the Spicy Chori-Bite is not just a sausage sandwich; it's a celebration of bold flavors and easy cooking! So let's check it out

Instructions:

• Preheat a flat-top grill. On it, sauté the red onion and hot peppers in olive oil until they start to soften.

‍

‍

• Remove the chorizo from its casing and add it to the grill with the onion and peppers.

‍

‍

• Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently.
• Add the green onion, green garlic, and lovage or parsley.

‍

‍

• Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes until everything is well combined.
• Transfer the mixture to a bowl and stir in the diced boiled egg.
• Brush the baguette slices with olive oil and toast them on the grill for 2-3 minutes until crispy but not dry.

‍

‍

• Top the toasted baguette slices with the chorizo mixture and serve warm.

‍

‍

Optional Sauce:

• Mix 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon of plain yogurt, and 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard. Drizzle over the chorizo mixture before serving. Personally, I prefer it without the sauce to fully enjoy the blend of flavors.

Recipe Insights

The choripan recipe is a beloved Argentinean street food traditionally made with chorizo served on bread. 

On the other hand, my version, the Spicy Chori-Bite, enhances this concept by including spicy ground sausage, eggs, and fresh herbs, bringing a vibrant and fresh twist to the table. 

This unique combination of flavors makes it not just any sausage sandwich recipe but perhaps the best sausage sandwich recipe for those who love a bit of heat and freshness in their meals.

Now, I prefer using lovage because it give it a Romanian flavor. However, if you don't like it or can't find it, you can replace it with either parsley or coriander.
