Chorizo Sausage Sandwich

Imagine sinking your teeth into a warm, crusty roll, yielding to a symphony of flavors and textures. First, the creamy, smoky paprika aioli dances on your tongue, its garlicky notes mingling with the sweetness of the date and apricot chutney. This chutney, a jewel-toned concoction of soft, jammy fruits, offers a tangy counterpoint to the richness of the chorizo. Slices of spicy, slightly charred chorizo, bursting with paprika and other spices, provide a meaty counterpoint to the sweetness. Melted, nutty Manchego cheese drapes itself over the chorizo, its subtle tang harmonizing with the other ingredients. Finally, the caramelized onions and peppers, sweet and slightly smoky from their time in the pan, complete the ensemble, adding a touch of savory depth and a pleasingly soft bite. Each mouthful is a delightful explosion of sweet, savory, smoky, and spicy, creating a truly unforgettable sandwich experience.

• 4 cloves Garlic minced
• 2 cups Dried Apricots roughly chopped
• 2 cups Pitted Dates roughly chopped
• 1 cup Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1/2 cup Brown Sugar
• 1/2 tsp Cumin
• 1/2 tsp Coriander
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tsp Garam Masala
• 2 Tbsp Mustard Seeds
• Pinch of salt

Smoked Paprika Garlic Aioli

• 1 cup Mayonnaise
• 4 cloves Garlic minced
• 2 Tbsp Smoked Paprika
• 2 Tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• ½ tsp Black Pepper

For the Sandwich:

• 2 Tbsp Olive Oil
• 2 Onions thinly sliced
• 2 Bell Peppers any color combination, thinly sliced
• 2 Poblano Peppers
• 10 Chorizo Sausages
• 10 Sandwich Rolls
• 10 oz Manchego cheese shredded

Instructions

Date and Apricot Chutney:

• Sauté the aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until softened and translucent, about 8-10 minutes. Add the grated ginger and minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
• Combine all ingredients: Add the chopped dried apricots, dates, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar, cumin, coriander,mustard seeds, red pepper flakes (if using), and salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
• Simmer the chutney: Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan and let the chutney simmer for about 40-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits are softened and the chutney has thickened.
• Cool and store: Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the chutney cool completely. Once cooled, transfer it to a clean jar or container with a lid. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Smoked Paprika Garlic Aioli:

• Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, minced garlic, smoked paprika, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
• Adjust consistency (optional): If you prefer a slightly thinner aioli, whisk in the olive oil.
• Taste and adjust: Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Add more lemon juice for tang, smoked paprika for smokiness, or salt and pepper to taste.

Sandwich Assembly:

• Cook onions and peppers: Heat olive oil in a large skillet(s) over medium heat. Add sliced onions and peppers, cook until softened and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
• Cook chorizo: Add chorizo to the skillet(s), cook until browned and slightly crispy (about 8-10 minutes if raw, 5 minutes if pre-cooked).
• Assemble sandwiches: Slice rolls horizontally. Spread aioli on bottom slices. Layer with chorizo, peppers, onions, chutney, and then manchego cheese
