Chorizo Hoagies with Tangy Cabbage-Pepper Relish
- 1 small head of green cabbage, thinly sliced (10 cups)
- 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced
- 1 carrot, shredded
- 1 1/2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 1/2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1/4 cup minced chives
- 2 tablespoons sweet smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 small shallot, minced
- Kosher salt

- Two 12-ounce bottles light beer or lager
- Canola oil, for brushing
- Six 6-ounce fresh chorizo sausages, pricked all over with a paring knife
- 6 hoagie rolls, split
- Make the relish In a large bowl, combine all of the ingredients.
- Mix by hand, squeezing the vegetables until the cabbage begins to soften and releases some liquid, about 3 minutes.

- Make the remoulade In a medium bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together and season with salt and pepper.
- Grill the chorizo Light a grill.
- In a large cast-iron skillet placed directly on the grate, bring 3 cups of the beer to a simmer; it should be at least 1/2 inch deep.
- Meanwhile, oil the grate and grill the chorizo over moderately high heat until lightly charred all over, about 6 minutes.
- Add the chorizo to the beer in the skillet and simmer, turning occasionally, until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes; add more beer to the skillet as needed.
- Return the chorizo to the grill and cook until well-browned, about 6 minutes.
- Transfer to a work surface and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Grill the hoagie rolls cut side down until lightly toasted, about 2 minutes.
- Spread some of the remoulade on the buns and top with the chorizo and relish.
- Pass the remaining remoulade and relish at the table.
