Goan Chouris Pao Goan Sausage Bread Breakfast Street

Ingredients

• 8 Goan chouriço (Goan pork sausages — spiced with red chilli and vinegar; available at Goan stores and online; substitute with any spicy pork sausage)
• 1 medium onion — thinly sliced
• 2 green chillies — finely sliced
• 2 tomatoes — finely chopped
• 1 tbsp oil
• 4 Goan pao (soft bread rolls — or any soft dinner rolls)

Method

1. Remove the chouriço from their casings by cutting them open.
2. The spiced pork filling will crumble out.
3. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan on medium. Add thinly sliced onion. Cook 5 minutes until softened.
4. Add the chouriço filling. Cook on medium-high for 5 to 6 minutes, breaking it up with a spoon.

7. Cook 4 minutes until tomatoes soften.
8. Add fresh coriander. Stir.
9. Slit the pao rolls open without cutting all the way through.
