Ingredients

baguette · pork · chorizo · paprika · garlic · salt

The *Bocadillo de Chorizo* is the broad Spanish category: cured pork sausage seasoned with *pimentón* and garlic, served in bread, with the sausage either sliced cold from a cured stick or cooked fresh from a soft one. Because *chorizo* exists in both a firm *curado* form and a soft *fresco* form, this is less a single recipe than a decision tree, and the cook's first choice is which *chorizo* the sandwich is for. The bread is a crusty white *barra*, split lengthwise and usually left plain so the sausage's paprika carries.

The build follows whichever *chorizo* is on hand. With cured sausage, it is sliced thin on the bias and shingled the length of the *barra*, no heat involved, the sandwich finished by closing the bread. With fresh sausage, it is split or cut into lengths and cooked on a griddle or in a pan until the fat runs orange, then laid in hot so the crumb takes the rendered drippings. Good execution in either mode means the bread does not overwhelm the filling: enough sausage to taste in every bite, a *barra* with real crust, and, in the cooked version, a lower crust stained with *pimentón* fat. Sloppy execution buries a few thin coins in too much bread, or, with the fresh sausage, leaves it underdone and greasy-pale instead of rendered.

Because the category is so wide, the meaningful variations are really separate sandwiches: the sliced cured version, the griddled *a la plancha* version, and the pan-fried version each behave differently and each takes its own article rather than being flattened together here. Regional sausages push it further still, from the soft spreadable *chorizo* of Gran Canaria to firmer mainland sticks. As a default, unqualified, the *Bocadillo de Chorizo* is the everyday bar and home sandwich the others all descend from, and the wider family of cured-sausage *bocadillos* sits beside it as a related study.
