Ingredients

Scale

Smoked Sausage:

  • 4 smoked sausage links (about 12 oz), high-quality with rich seasoning

Chimichurri Sauce:

  • 1 cup fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh oregano, finely chopped
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Bread:

  • 4 baguette halves or sandwich rolls, crusty

Optional Vegetables and Add-ons:

  • Sliced onions, roasted peppers, or tomatoes, as desired
  • Cheese such as provolone or mozzarella (optional)
  • Sliced jalapeños or hot sauce for extra heat (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chimichurri Sauce: Finely chop the fresh parsley, oregano, and garlic cloves. In a bowl, combine these herbs and garlic with red wine vinegar, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and let the sauce sit for at least 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together, creating a vibrant and zesty chimichurri.
  2. Cook the Smoked Sausage: Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the smoked sausage links. Cook them until browned and warmed through. For extra crispy edges and enhanced flavor, you can slice the sausages before cooking.
  3. Toast the Bread: Slice your chosen bread and toast it lightly either in a toaster or on a skillet. This adds a pleasant crunch that holds up well to the juicy sausage and the saucy chimichurri without becoming soggy.
  4. Assemble the Sandwich: Place the cooked smoked sausages on the toasted bread. Generously spoon chimichurri sauce over the sausage. Add any optional vegetables or cheese as desired. Close the sandwich and serve immediately to enjoy the blend of bold flavors and textures.

Notes

  • Use fresh parsley and oregano for the most vibrant chimichurri flavor.
  • Don’t skimp on the red wine vinegar; its acidity balances the richness of the sausage.
  • Avoid over-toasting the bread to prevent it from becoming too hard to bite.
  • Make the chimichurri sauce a few hours ahead to let the flavors fully develop.
  • Choose a quality smoked sausage with robust seasoning and natural casing for the best taste and juiciness.
