- Makes: 1 serving (263 g)
- Difficulty: Easy

Ingredients
- 150 g Italian sausage, raw
- 70 g Bread, French (baguette)
- 10 g Parsley, fresh
- 6 g Garlic, raw
- 0.5 g Oregano, dried
- 15 g Olive oil
- 10 g Vinegar, red wine
- 0.5 g Cayenne pepper
- 0.5 g Salt
Method
- Make the chimichurri: finely chop the parsley and garlic, and mix with the oregano, olive oil, vinegar, cayenne and salt in a small bowl; let it sit for at least 15 minutes so the flavours meld.
- Heat a grill or griddle pan to medium-high.
- Split the sausage almost in half lengthways (butterflying it) so it cooks faster and lies flat.
- Grill the sausage for 4-5 minutes per side, until well browned and cooked through with no pink inside.
- Split the bread roll and toast the cut sides on the grill for 1 minute.
- Lay the sausage in the roll and spoon the chimichurri generously over the top before serving hot.
