Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Chouriço sausages — Prick the sausages with a fork before grilling to prevent them from bursting. This will also allow the flavors to penetrate the sausage more effectively.

Tips & Tricks

  • For an extra burst of flavor, marinate the chouriço sausages in a mixture of olive oil, garlic, and paprika for 1-2 hours before grilling.
  • If you prefer a spicier kick, use hot chouriço sausages instead of mild ones.
  • Serve the dish with a side of crusty bread to soak up the delicious juices from the grilled chouriço.
  • Add a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chouriço slices before serving to enhance the flavors.
  • Leftovers can be used in sandwiches or added to pasta dishes for a quick and tasty meal.
