Ingredients

  • 4 chorizo sausages
  • 2 morcilla (blood sausages)
  • 1 medium onion, sliced into rings
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Grill: Preheat your grill or barbecue to medium-high heat. Ensure that the grates are clean and lightly oiled to prevent sticking.

  2. Marinate (Optional): In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Rub this mixture over the chorizo and morcilla sausages for added flavor. Let them sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes, if time allows.

  3. Grill the Sausages: Place the chorizo and morcilla on the grill, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Grill for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking until they are browned and cooked through.

  4. Add Onion Rings: In the last few minutes of grilling, add the onion rings around the sausages. Cook them until they are golden and caramelized, turning once halfway through.

  5. Serve: Remove the chorizo and morcilla from the grill and arrange on a wooden platter. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and flavor.

Asado de Chorizo y Morcilla is more than just a dish; it’s an invitation to gather, share stories, and savor the simple pleasures of good food and company. Serve this grilled delight hot, accompanied by chimichurri sauce or a slice of crusty bread for dipping into the rich juices. Embrace the warmth and joy of Argentinian cuisine with every bite. Enjoy!
