Bocadillos de Chorizo

Bocadillos de Chorizo are delicious Spanish sandwiches that showcase the rich flavors of chorizo sausage, perfectly complemented by roasted red peppers and a drizzle of olive oil. This dairy-free snack is perfect for sharing or enjoying as a quick meal.

Ingredients

• Chorizo - 150 grams, sliced
• Baguette or crusty bread - 1 small (about 200 grams)
• Roasted red peppers - 100 grams, sliced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped
• Salt - to taste

Steps

1. Preheat a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the sliced chorizo to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, turning occasionally, until it is browned and slightly crispy.
3. While the chorizo is cooking, cut the baguette in half lengthwise and then into smaller pieces if desired.
4. In a small bowl, mix the minced garlic, chopped parsley, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
5. Once the chorizo is cooked, remove it from the skillet and place it on a paper towel to drain excess oil.
6. In the same skillet, place the sliced roasted red peppers for about 1-2 minutes to warm them up.
7. Assemble the bocadillos by spreading the olive oil mixture on the cut side of the baguette, layering with chorizo and roasted red peppers.
