Chorizo and Pepper Pittas

Finished sandwich!

Last friday, I was looking for a tasty lunch and remembered a sandwich I had in Borough Market over a year ago. There's a stand where you can get a chorizo sausage and roasted red pepper in a tasty bun. Simple and delicious. My only slight critique I had at the time was that it seemed a bit dry with just the sausage and pepper. So, I wanted to try and jazz it up a bit. This mayonnaise based addition is really flavorful and so easy to make it almost seems silly not to. Add in some sauteed peppers, onions and a little salad and you're ready to go!

Prep Time: 15 min 

Cook Time: N/A

Serves: 6

Ingredients: 

3 slices of chorizo per pitta sandwich
1 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 a red onion, sliced
1 handful of salad leaves per pitta sandwich
Pitta breads
10 sun dried tomatoes, either packed in oil or rehydrated
small handful of basil leaves
2-4 tbsp light mayonnaise

Method: 

Toast the pitta breads while mixing the mayonnaise condiment. In a small food processor, blend the sun dried tomatoes, basil and mayonnaise until smooth. Add 2-4 tablespoons of mayonnaise depending on your personal preference. In a small saucepan, saute the chopped peppers and onions until soft. When this is ready, smooth over one side of the pitta and top with three slices of chorizo, some of the peppers and onions and a few salad leaves.
