Spanish Chorizo Rice Recipe

How to make Spanish Chorizo Rice

Method

  1. Dice the chorizo and fry it off in a large frypan, on medium-high heat. 
  2. As the chorizo is frying, chop the onion and add it to the pan. Give it a little stir so they mix together well.
  3. Remove the core of the capsicum and chop it into little chunks and add it to the frypan. Stir well. If the pan is too hot, turn the heat down.
  4. Chop the spring onions, add to the frypan and give it a stir.
  5. Finally, slice off the corn from the cob (use any leftovers for a veggie stock) and add the corn kernels to the frypan with the other ingredients. Give it another stir to mix it all up.
  6. Now, let’s add flavour with some crushed garlic and smoked paprika. Stir it all together and cook it for a couple of minutes. 
  7. Then add the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. 
  8. Finally, stir in the rice. Allow it to simmer and pop the lid on. Let it cook for 20 minutes. 
  9. Another option is to pop it in the oven for 20-25 minutes with the lid on at 180°C (160°C fan-forced). 
  10. Once cooked, check the seasoning and add salt if required, then serve.
