Servings: 4
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 red onion diced small
- 1 red pepper seeded and diced small
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar
- 4 chorizo sausages either lamb or pork
- 4 hot dog buns
- 1 handful arugula
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 3-5 minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add the red pepper and continue cooking for another 3 minutes until the peppers have softened. Add the sugar, salt, pepper and vinegar and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 5 minutes. Set aside. (Note: The relish can be made up to 3 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator).
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium high heat.
Grill the chorizo sausages, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked though, about 15 minutes.
Place a sausage in each of the buns and garnish with arugula and red pepper relish.
