Ingredients

  • 1 link Chouriço (Portuguese Sausage)
  • 1 tbsp Aguadente (or high-proof alcohol)
  • 4 slices Gluten-Free Bread

Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.

Instructions

  1. 1Place the 1 link Chouriço on a grill or in a chouriço roaster. If you are using a chouriço roaster, add the 1 tbsp Aguadente (or high-proof alcohol) to the roaster.
  2. 2Grill the chouriço over medium-high heat. Cook for 5-7 minutes per side, until the skin is crispy and slightly charred. The chouriço is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 74°C.
  3. 3Remove the chouriço from the heat and let it rest for 2 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the sausage more tender.
  4. 4While the chouriço rests, lightly toast the 4 slices of Gluten-Free Bread until golden brown. This will provide a sturdy base for dipping.
  5. 5Serve the hot chouriço immediately with the toasted 4 slices of Gluten-Free Bread on the side for dipping.
