To burn it off
A choripán is a grilled pork chorizo, split open and put in a crusty roll with chimichurri spooned on. It's the first thing off the grill at an Argentine asado and the food outside every football ground in Buenos Aires.
One is 450 kcal, with 35 g of carbs, 26 g of fat and 18 g of protein. The sausage brings the fat, the bread the carbs.
Argentine chorizo is a fresh pork sausage, not the dry paprika chorizo from Spain. Chimichurri is herbs, garlic, vinegar and oil, so a big spoon adds a little.
Tips
- 1Have one choripán, then go for the salad before the rest of the asado.
- 2Split the chorizo open on the grill so some fat drips off.
- 3Use salsa criolla, onion, tomato and pepper in vinegar, instead of more chimichurri.
