Ingredients
- 6 1/2 ounces cooking chorizo sausages (about 12 mini chorizo)
- 12 piquillo peppers from a jar
- 2 rustic demi-baguettes
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon red wine vinegar
- handful flat-leaf parsley
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Directions
- Halve the chorizo sausages lengthways, then thread the chorizo and peppers onto 4 small skewers, alternating between the two. Set aside.
- Heat a griddle pan to high and cook the skewers for 5 minutes, turning halfway through until the chorizo is cooked through and has released its red oil. Remove the skewers from the pan and set aside. Lay the baguette halves cut-side down on the pan, moving them about in the hot oil, and toast for 2 minutes until a little crisp and red from the chorizo oil.
- Combine the tomatoes, garlic, olive oil, vinegar, and parsley. Season with black pepper and a little salt, though the chorizo may be salty enough. Put the baguettes onto a serving plate, spoon over the tomatoes, and serve the skewers on top of the bread.
