Chorizo and Manchego Sandwich (Bocata caliente de chorizo con queso)

Something typical in Spain at school or in bars are the "bocadillos." They are sandwiches at 11:00 in the morning during recess or a coffee break. This is one of the traditional ones.

Ingredients:


French baguette or 2 slices of rustic bread
Spanish chorizo (we use Palacios)
Manchego cheese


fruit


Slice the cheese and chorizo, lay them in the bread, put it in a hot pan or a grill and weigh it down. I use a brick wrapped in aluminum foil to use as a press but you could also use a panini maker. Send your kids to school with their new cool lunch: a Spanish sandwich and fruit.
