Preheat the grill to high. Cut the onion into thin wedges. Thinly slice the capsicum. Crush or finely chop 1 garlic clove. Thinly slice the chorizo into rounds.
Step 2 — Cook veggies and chorizo
Heat 1 tbs olive oil in a medium frypan over medium heat. Cook the onion, capsicum and garlic, stirring, for 5 mins or until soft. Add the chorizo, increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, for 3-4 mins until browned. Remove the pan from the heat. Taste, then season with salt and pepper.
Step 3 — Make dressing
Put 1 tbs olive oil, 2 tsp balsamic vinegar and 1 tsp honey in a large bowl, season with salt and pepper and whisk to combine.
Step 4 — Toast baguettes
Halve the baguettes. Put on an oven tray, cut-side up, and grill for 1-2 mins until warmed through and golden.
Step 5 — Serve up
Coarsely chop one-quarter of the rocket. Add the remaining rocket to the dressing and toss to coat. Spread the baguettes with 2 tbs mayonnaise, if using, then top with the red pesto and chorizo mixture. Scatter with the chopped rocket and serve with the rocket salad. Enjoy!
Step 6 — Make it yours
Add a handful of your favourite fresh herbs to the baguettes along with the rocket for a fragrant twist.
