Recipe of Choripán
Vida Recetas Editorial
Choripán is an iconic street sandwich from Chile and Argentina, perfect for sharing at barbecues or casual gatherings. Its name comes from the combination of “chorizo” and “bread,” although in Chile it is traditionally made with longaniza, a fresh and juicy sausage.
This choripan recipe is ideal for beginners: you only need a grill, longaniza sausages, marraquetas (crispy bread), and pebre, a fresh sauce made with tomato, onion, and cilantro. The secret is to grill the longaniza over high heat until golden on the outside and juicy inside, and to serve it on warm bread so it absorbs the juices.
Pebre adds a tangy and herby touch that balances the meat's richness. You can adapt it with chimichurri or a tomato-onion relish, as some variations suggest. It's a versatile dish that works as an appetizer, light lunch, or even casual dinner. Go ahead and make it to surprise your guests with an authentic and delicious flavor!

Directions

1
Place the sausages on the grill over high heat (you know that it is the right temperature by placing your hand 30 cm from the grill, the heat is held in the hand, up to 5 seconds). Roast until golden brown on both sides, approx. 10 minutes. When they see that they are ready, place the marquettes divided into four teeth. At this point you can cut the sausages into 2 or 3 parts, depending on the size, so they won't lose their juice.

Place the piece of roasted sausage on the hot and crispy bread. Serve with one or two tablespoons of pebre, but do not stray from the pebre, as they will surely want another teaspoon.
