Chorizo al Pan

Chorizo al pan — sausage and bread — is the snack of choice at Uruguayan soccer matches, fairs, and impromptu after-work gatherings. It is ridiculously simple: a good fresh chorizo, a crusty roll, and nothing more than a little mayo to hold it together.

Two ingredients, zero fuss, maximum flavor

The chorizo comes off the grill with a snappy, blistered casing and a juicy, paprika-red center, while the toasted roll soaks up the released juices. A thin smear of mayonnaise adds creaminess without stealing the show from the sausage.

Step by stepInstructions

  1. Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium heat.
  2. Grill the chorizos, turning every 3 to 4 minutes for 15 to 20 minutes, until deeply browned and cooked through to 165°F in the center.
  3. In the last 2 minutes, toast the rolls cut-side down on the grill until lightly charred.
  4. Spread mayonnaise (and mustard, if using) on both cut sides of each roll.
  5. Tuck a hot chorizo into each roll, sprinkle with oregano, press gently, and serve right away.

💡 Chef tips & storage

Never prick the chorizos — the juices are what keep them moist and flavorful. Assemble them one at a time as you eat, so the bread never goes soggy.
