Choripan
Also known as: Choripán
Grilled pork chorizo in baguette-style bread with Argentine chimichurri.
About Choripan
Layla Pujol’s basic Argentine choripán combines grilled chorizo, bread and chimichurri. This selected version uses pork chorizo and baguette-style bread, following the sandwich’s familiar asado setting.
Parsley, oregano, garlic and scallions give the chimichurri its herbal character. Vinegar and lemon juice add acidity, balanced by oil and the heat of fresh red chilli.
The sausage sits within lightly toasted bread, with chimichurri over the filling. Tomato-and-onion curtido remains an optional extra alongside the core sandwich.
