Title: Chorizo Sloppy Joes w/Kale & Provolone
Categories: Pork, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads, Cheese
Yield: 4 servings

2 tb Olive oil
1 1/2 lb Mexican or Guatemalan
- chorizo or Portuguese
- chouri|oo
2 ts Whole cumin seeds
1 lg Bell pepper; cored, thin
- sliced
1 md Red onion; peeled, thin
- sliced
2 cl Garlic; peeled, minced
1 c Canned crushed tomatoes
2 tb Cholula or Frank's hot
- sauce
4 Portuguese-style rolls or
- sesame-seed hero rolls
8 sl (thin) sharp Provolone
4 Handfuls baby kale or
- spinach leaves
1/2 c Sliced pickled banana
- peppers
1/2 c Pitted, chopped green
- olives
1 tb Celery seeds

MAKE THE CHORIZO FILLING FOR THE SANDWICH. Set a large,
high-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Swirl the oil into the pan, and when it shimmers and is
about to smoke, add the chorizo, breaking up the meat
with a spoon. Cook the chorizo, stirring occasionally
and continuing to break down its bulk, until the meat
has rendered some of its fat and started to brown,
approximately 10 to 12 minutes.

Stir in the cumin, then add the bell pepper, onion and
garlic, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the
vegetables wilt, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in
the tomatoes, 1/2 cup water and the hot sauce, and bring
to a simmer, using the spoon to scrape up any browned
bits on the bottom and sides of the skillet. Reduce heat
to low, and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the
sauce has thickened and the vegetables are very tender,
approximately 20 minutes. Keep warm or let cool, then
refrigerate and reheat when ready to use.

TO ASSEMBLE THE SANDWICHES, split and toast the rolls,
then place 1 to 2 slices of Provolone on the bottom part
of each, and divide the warm chorizo filling on top.
Place equal portions of the kale on top of the filling,
along with equal portions of banana peppers and olives.
Sprinkle each sandwich aggressively with celery seeds,
put the top part of the bread on and serve.

Cook the ground beef, onion and bell pepper in a large
skillet over medium heat, until beef is crumbled and
cooked through. Drain off any excess fat and return
skillet to stove top over medium heat.

Add in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30
seconds. Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to
combine.

Let mixture simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, to
allow flavors to blend. Taste and adjust seasonings to
your taste preference if desired. (see tips)

Serve over a toasted bun. Enjoy!

TIPS FOR ADJUSTING FLAVOR PROFILES:

More spicy - add in an extra pinch of red pepper flakes
or a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce

More smokey - double the chilli spice and a few extra
dashes of Worcestershire sauce

More tangy - stir in a little Dijon-style mustard or
add some Colman's mustard powder

Serves six and the cat.
