Green olive chimichurri

¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
METHOD
Chimichurri: Put the parsley and rocket on a board and chop finely together. Combine in a bowl with all the remaining ingredients and season.
Heat the oil in a sauté pan and cook the chorizo sausages until lightly golden and hot. Drain on kitchen towels.
To assemble: Spilt the rolls lengthways and spread the insides with mayonnaise. Place half a chorizo and some rocket in each roll and top with a spoonful of chimichurri. Makes 6
