“My Argentine Heart” on Hallmark Channel took place in beautiful Argentina, with plenty of glorious scenery, wine and delicious food. With part of the storyline surrounding the idea of opening a restaurant, you can bet there was plenty of Argentinian cuisine to go around! I didn’t know where to start, but ultimatelyI ended up pulling my inspiration from the scene where they held an “Asado”, an Argentinian barbecue, where they were cooking chorizo on an open flame. Living in the midwest, I didn’t have the choice to cook my chorizo on a open flame since its -5 outside, but the skillet worked just fine!
Ingredients:
-Chorizo pork sausage
-French bread
-2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
-3 Tablespoons water
-1 Tablespoon olive oil
-2 cloves of garlic, minced
-1 shallot, minced
-1 Tablespoon Italian seasoning
-1 Tablespoon smoked paprika
Directions:
In a small bowl, add chopped garlic, chopped shallot, rice vinegar, water, olive oil, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika. Stir well, cover and place in fridge.
Add olive oil to skillet and cook chorizo sausage until you get a nice char on all sides. Take off heat and set aside.
Cut your French bread to the length of the chorizo sausage. Slice in the center and drizzle olive oil on top. Sprinkle Italian seasoning on that and place face down in the same skillet you cooked the chorizo in (do not clean the skillet after cooking chorizo).
Once it’s all toasted up, place cooked chorizo sausage in the bun and top with the mixture you made earlier and placed in the fridge. Enjoy!
