How we chose
Research-backed · reviewed Aug 2026
We matched the Recipe's direct-heat grilling method, three-burner control, primary cooking area, cast-iron grates, current Weber part 1500788, warranty, ownership burden, and exact Amazon identity. Kwilt has not cooked on this grill.
Weber Spirit E-310 Gas Grill · 1500788: Three independently ignited burners and 360 square inches of primary grate space provide enough controllable direct heat for a family batch of burgers without requiring a larger premium grill. Trade-off: It is a major purchase, requires outdoor space and a separately purchased propane tank, and gas does not provide the same smoke character as charcoal.
Another workable path: Use any safe outdoor grill with enough clean grate area for uncrowded burgers, or cook them in batches on a preheated cast-iron skillet indoors.

Ingredients

1× recipe · Makes 6 sandwiches

1 packed cup flat-leaf parsley leaves, finely chopped by hand
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano
1 teaspoon ají molido or red-pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons warm water
2/3 cup neutral oil
6 fresh Argentine-style pork-and-beef chorizos
6 small crusty French rolls

Instructions

Mix parsley, garlic, oregano, ají molido, salt, pepper, vinegar, and warm water. Stir in oil and rest at room temperature for 2 hours so the dried seasonings hydrate; do not purée.
Prepare a . Cook chorizos over medium indirect heat, turning often, until nearly cooked, 15 to 18 minutes.
Move chorizos over direct heat and brown until the casings are crisp and the centers reach 160°F, 3 to 5 minutes. Rest 5 minutes; split lengthwise without cutting all the way through if desired.
Split rolls, grill cut sides until crisp, and add one chorizo to each. Spoon on enough chimichurri to season without saturating the bread and serve immediately.

About this recipe

Choripán is an Argentine grill standard that places a browned fresh chorizo in crusty bread and seasons it with rested chimichurri, often eaten as an asado opener or street sandwich.

Choripán—chorizo plus pan—is an Argentine asado and street-food staple. Argentine chorizo is a mild fresh sausage, commonly pork or pork-and-beef, not dry Spanish chorizo or heavily chile-spiced Mexican chorizo. This Kwilt version follows the reviewed household adaptation: Specify butcher-made Argentine-style links and author a traditional rested chimichurri, keeping the sandwich focused rather than adding cheese, slaw, or sweet onions.
