Spicy Choripán with Fresh Jalapeños

The fiery brother of the classic Choripán. Here, the freshness of chimichurri meets the kick of raw chili, for those who like their food to bite back. The sausage fat and bread carbs blunt the power of capsaicin, making the experience tingling and intense rather than painful.

Recipe FAQ

How do I reduce the heat?
Remove the chili seeds and white membrane (pith), as that's where most of the heat lives.
