Ingredients
4 (8-in.) baguettes 4 (4-oz.) Spanish chorizo links, split in half lengthwise 1 fennel bulb, trimmed of feathery greens and stalks, then halved and cored 4 oz. arugula 1/2 lemon 2 Tbsp. Extra virgin olive oil As needed Salt, to taste 2 ripe Fresh California Avocados, seeded, peeled and cut into thin slices 1/4 cup Fennel Mayonnaise (see make-ahead recipe below) Fennel Mayonnaise 1 large egg yolk 4 tsp. dry mustard 2 tsp. cider vinegar 2 tsp. brown sugar 1 tsp. freshly squeezed lemon juice 1 tsp. ground fennel seeds 2/3 cup canola oil As needed Kosher salt, to tasteInstructions
- Preheat a grill to medium heat.
- Split the baguettes in half lengthwise.
- Grill the sausages on both sides until they are heated through, about 9 minutes total; remove from the grill.
- Grill the baguette halves, cut sides down, until they are toasted, about 3 minutes. Remove the bread from the grill.
- While the sausages are grilling, thinly shave the fennel bulb with a knife. In a bowl, combine the shaved fennel and arugula, then dress with the squeezed the lemon, olive oil and salt, to taste. Set aside.
- Smear a layer of Fennel Mayonnaise on the bottom half of each baguette. Place the shaved fennel arugula mixture over the mayo, dividing it evenly among the baguettes. Place a portion of grilled chorizo on top of each.
- Arrange half of a sliced avocado on top of the chorizo. Cover each sandwich with the top half of the baguette, then slice each sandwich in half and serve.
Note: Be sure to use Spanish chorizo, which is cured and fully cooked.
Fennel Mayonnaise
- Combine the yolk, mustard, vinegar, brown sugar, lemon juice and fennel seed in the bowl of a food processor or blender. Slowly add the oil while the machine is running until the mixture thickens and emulsifies.
- Season with salt, to taste and refrigerate until use.
Tip: Store the leftover Fennel Mayonnaise in the refrigerator for a day or two to use on other sandwiches.

Did You Know?
It’s a good idea to brush a little oil on the cut side of a California Avocado before grilling. They are also delicious in a host of other entrée recipes, from stove top to oven-baked to multi-cooker preparation.
As with all fruits and vegetables, wash avocados before cutting. Check out our tips for how to choose and use California Avocados
