Ingredients

Scale

Smoked Sausage

  • 8 oz smoked sausage (your choice)

Chimichurri Sauce

  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Bread and Add-ons

  • 1 fresh bread roll or baguette
  • Optional: sliced onions or sliced peppers, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: Finely chop fresh parsley, cilantro, and garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine these herbs with red wine vinegar, olive oil, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well blended and set aside to let the flavors meld.
  2. Cook the Smoked Sausage: Slice the smoked sausage into thick pieces. Pan-fry over medium heat for 6-8 minutes until browned and heated through, enhancing the smoky aroma and ensuring juicy sausage.
  3. Toast the Bread: Slice the bread roll or baguette in half. Toast lightly until the crust is crisp and the inside remains soft and airy, providing a sturdy base for the sandwich.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Spread a generous layer of chimichurri sauce on both halves of the toasted bread. Layer the cooked sausage slices on top. Add sliced onions or peppers if desired for added crunch. Close the sandwich and press gently to combine the layers.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Slice the sandwich in half or serve whole with your favorite sides. Best enjoyed immediately to experience the ideal contrast of bold flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use fresh parsley and cilantro for vibrant chimichurri flavor; dried herbs won’t provide the same freshness.
  • Do not overcook the sausage—heat until just browned to maintain juiciness.
  • Toast the bread lightly to balance crunch and moisture.
  • Prepare the chimichurri sauce a few hours ahead to allow the flavors to fully develop.
  • Taste the chimichurri sauce before assembling to adjust acidity or spice to your preference.
