Ingredients

🥩 8-10 pieces pork sausages, approx. 800g (salchicha parrillera de cerdo)
🧀 1 large round disc provoleta cheese, approx. 200-300g, seasoned with herbs and chili flakes
🫒 Drizzle olive oil, approx. 1-2 tablespoons for the pan and 1/4 cup for chimichurri
🌿 1 bunch fresh parsley, finely chopped
🧄 2-3 cloves garlic, minced
🌶️ 1 teaspoon dried chili flakes
🍷 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
🧂 Salt, approx. 1 teaspoon
🌶️ Black pepper, approx. 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions

1- Prepare the Charcoal:

• Using a charcoal chimney starter, light the charcoal until it is red hot and covered in white ash. This typically takes around 15-20 minutes.

2- Grill the Sausages:

• Once the charcoal is ready, place the metal grates on your charcoal grill.
• Lay the pork sausages on the grill over strong heat. Test the heat by holding your hand above the grill — if you can only hold it there for 6-7 seconds, the heat is strong.
• Grill the sausages for about 15 minutes per side, turning occasionally for even browning and cooking.

3- Cook the Provoleta:

• Place a small cast iron provoleta pan on the grill. Drizzle with a small amount of olive oil.
• Add the seasoned provoleta cheese disc to the heated pan.
• Cook for 10 minutes on one side until golden brown and crispy, then flip and cook for an additional 5 minutes.

4- Make the Chimichurri:

• In a small ceramic bowl, combine finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, dried chili flakes, red wine vinegar, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to mix.

5- Serve:

• Place the fully cooked sausages on a wooden cutting board.
• Carefully place the grilled provoleta directly on top of the sausages.
• Slice them into individual serving pieces.
• Serve immediately with chimichurri on the side, optionally accompanied by a cold "Peñon del Aguila" wheat beer.
