CHORIPÁN ARGENTINIAN STYLE

The choripán is an essential Argentinian street food that is often prepared on a parrilla (charcoal grill) and traditionally paired with chimichurri.

We recommend pairing this recipe with a side of fries and some cool refreshing beer.

Customization Idea!

Another typical sauce used in choripán is salsa rosa (i.e salsa golf or Argentinian ketchup)

It’s equal parts mayonnaise and ketchup that’s occasionally sprinkled with cumin and/or a dash of hot sauce.
