Mix all the ingredients

Mix all the ingredients (yes, except the buns and the sausages) together. Good idea to let them mingle for an hour or so before use. This gives the ingredients a chance to get to know one another.

Split the sausages down the middle so that you can lay them flat on the grill.

Split the sausages down the middle so that you can lay them flat on the grill. You don't have to do this but, for some unexplainable, mystical reason, they taste better when you do it this way. Trust me.

Head outside with a friend and grill the sausages.

Put some sexy grill marks on the sausage halves

Put some sexy grill marks on the sausage halves. This is a good time to toast your buns on the grill if you're into that sort of thing.

Spoon lots of chimichurri sauce onto your buns.

Voila - choripan.Trust me - this recipe is a winner. Easy, speedy and tastes like another.
