Jul 20, 2024 10:50 AM
This is the traditional Choripán from Argentina, a chorizo sandwich made with pork/beef sausage, french bread and usually eaten with authentic chimichurri. A sandwich you must try!
Street food is messy and flavorful, and that’s the best part about it, don't you agree? These chorizo sandwiches fit right into that description.
Though adding chimichurri and maybe salsa criolla (similar to pico de Gallo salsa) is wonderful, choripanes (plural) are eaten plain most of the time. Just grab the bread, add the butterflied chorizo and take a bite!
Choripan is a chorizo sandwich, a typical sandwich from Argentina. This chorizo sandwich is the most representative street food there, a national passion, the appetizer before the meat at almost every barbecue.
Pan means bread in Spanish, and chori is the abbreviation of chorizo. In fact, the slang word for choripan is chori.
The chorizo (version of sausage) fits perfectly in the medium French bread rolls, one of the most common breads in Argentina.
