Ingredients

• 4 Swedish-style chorizo sausages
• 2 tbsp unsalted butter
• 4 hot dog buns
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup pickled mustard seeds
• 1/4 cup lingonberry jam
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Fire up the Arteflame grill

1. Pour some vegetable oil on three paper napkins and place them in the grill.
2. Stack firewood on top of the soaked napkins.
3. Light the napkins and wait about 20 minutes for the grill to reach proper temperature.

Step 2: Prepare the sausages

1. Lightly coat the chorizo sausages with butter to enhance flavor.
2. Ensure they are at room temperature before cooking.

Step 3: Sear the sausages

1. Place the sausages on the center grill grate and sear them over 1,000°F heat for about 1-2 minutes per side, creating a perfect golden-brown crust.
2. Remove the sausages from the center grill when they have a beautifully seared exterior.

Step 4: Finish cooking on the flat cooktop

1. Move the seared sausages to the flat cooktop and continue grilling them at a lower temperature until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F.
2. Remove them from the grill when they reach 145°F, as they will continue cooking.

Step 5: Toast the buns and grill toppings

1. Butter the insides of the hot dog buns and place them on the flat cooktop until golden and crispy.
2. Grill the sliced red onions on the cooler outer edges of the cooktop until they soften.

Step 6: Assemble the sausages

1. Place each chorizo sausage into a toasted bun.
2. Top with grilled onions, pickled mustard seeds, lingonberry jam, and chopped parsley.
3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips

• Always remove the sausages from the grill 15°F before the final temperature to allow carryover cooking.
• Using butter instead of oil adds a richer flavor to the sausage and buns.
• Experiment with heat zones on the flat cooktop to achieve ideal cooking conditions.
• Keep an eye on the buns while toasting to prevent burning.

Variations

1. Spicy Jalapeño Chorizo: Add finely chopped grilled jalapeños for an extra fiery kick.
2. Garlic Herb Chorizo: Mix minced fresh garlic and chopped thyme into the butter before coating the sausages.
3. Cheese-Stuffed Chorizo: Slice the sausages lengthwise and stuff with cheese before searing.
4. Sweet & Smoky Chorizo: Brush sausages with a honey glaze while cooking for a sweet contrast to the spice.
5. Classic Mustard Chorizo: Swap lingonberry jam for classic Dijon mustard for a tangy twist.
