Ingredients

1 ounce high-quality chardonnay vinegar
4 ounce high-quality olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup samuel adams boston lager
6 ounce high-quality dried chorizo, diced
1 loaf of sourdough bread, sliced, brushed with olive oil and reserved for the grill
salt and pepper to taste
1 bunch flat leaf parsley, chopped
1 large italian long pepper
2 ounce high-quality olive oil
3 cloves peeled garlic, sliced thin
2 heads broccolini, cleaned

Directions

Place the Samuel Adams Boston Lager and Chardonnay vinegar in a mixing bowl. Slowly stir in 4 ounces of olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Cut off the bottoms and the leaves of the broccolini, reserving only 4-inch stems with florets attached. Brush the stems lightly with the Samuel Adams Boston Lager Vinaigrette, and grill until slightly charred.
Place a cast iron pan directly on the grill and lightly coat the bottom of the pan with olive oil. Place the Italian long pepper, garlic and chorizo in the oil. Slowly cook to release the oil from the chorizo and let it crisp slightly. Be sure that the garlic does not burn. The Italian long pepper skin should blister and the pepper should soften and brown. Once the pepper is blistered and the chorizo has released its oils and crisped, add the grilled broccolini to the pan.
Gently fold the ingredients together and season with salt, pepper and the Samuel Adams Boston Lager Vinaigrette.
Brush the sliced sourdough bread with olive oil and grill so it is crisp on the outside and chewy in the center.
Tear the bread into 1 inch pieces and fold into the broccolini mixture. Serve in a bowl or dish and garnish with fresh torn parsley leaves.
