Chorizo and Peppers Sandwich
The other day I found myself wondering what I should make for lunch when it occurred to me i had half a baguette on the counter left from a pasta dinner courtesy of Pulling Weeds the night before, and one link of chorizo left over from my gumbo making last week. A quick check in the fridge revealed I also had a red pepper and half a spring onion. A sausage and pepper sandwich was in order.
I whipped out the cast iron pan, heated it to very hot with a touch of oil, and tossed in the chorizo (sliced in half lengthwise), a quarter of a red pepper sliced, and about a 1/4 cup of sliced spring onion. I fried this up for about 10 minutes, then added the sliced baguette to the pan to toast it up a bit. I served it with a healthy serving of spicy brown mustard and a handful of potato chips, alongside a shandy (lemonade/beer 50/50mix).
Wonderful makeshift lunch out of leftovers from previous meals, and man, sometimes a shandy is just about the best thing one could ever drink on a hot afternoon.
