Ingredients
- 2 large poblano peppers
- 2 large red onion, halved
- 1 roasted red bell pepper (if jarred, rinsed well and patted dry)
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1/4 tsp. dried leaf thyme
- 1/2 tsp. salt1 or 2 (9 oz.) pkg. fully cooked chorizo sausages
- 4 French rolls or sausage buns
- 3 to 4 Tbsp. mayonnaise
- 4 oz. Monterey Jack, Chihuahua or brick cheese, thinly sliced
- Chopped fresh cilantro
Directions
-
Cut the poblanos in half lengthwise. Remove the core and seeds. Cut peppers crosswise in half again, then cut into 1/4 inch strips. Cut the onion halve into 1/4-inch wide wedges or slices. Cut the roasted red pepper into 1/4-inch wide strips about the same length as the poblano.
-
heat a large skillet over medium heat until hot. Add oil, poblano strips and onion slices. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until vegetables soften and onion turns golden, about 7 minutes. Stir in red bell pepper and garlic. Cook 1 to 2 minutes more. Set aside. (Mixture can be refrigerated up to several days. Use at room temperature.)
-
Split sausages lengthwise nearly in half. Nestle the sausages into the pan with the pepper mixture, and heat through over medium, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
-
Heat broiler. Split the rolls lengthwise about three-quarters of the way through. Place the rolls cut side down on a baking sheet, and broil to toast them lightly, about 1 minute. Do not walk away, or they may burn.
-
Spread the mayonnaise on the cut side of each roll, and broil to toast that side, about 1 minutes. Top each roll with 1 or 2 sausages. Pile about 1 quarter of the poblano mixture over the sausages in each roll. Top with a quarter of the sliced cheese. Broil, 6 inches from heat source, until cheese is melted and golden, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle with cilantro, fold in half and serve right away.
