Description

A simple and flavorful one-pot dish featuring spicy chorizo and sweet tomatoes cooked with rice.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 150g chorizo, diced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 400g can chopped tomatoes
  • 200g long-grain rice
  • 400ml chicken or vegetable stock
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan or ovenproof dish over medium heat. Add the diced chorizo and cook until it releases its oils and is slightly crispy. Remove the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving the rendered fat in the pan.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
  3. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and cook for 5 minutes, allowing them to break down slightly.
  4. Add the long-grain rice to the pan and stir to coat it with the tomato mixture.
  5. Pour in the chicken or vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Season with salt and black pepper.
  6. Return the cooked chorizo to the pan. Cover the pan tightly with a lid or foil.
  7. Transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 180°C (160°C fan/350°F/Gas Mark 4) and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
  8. Let the dish stand for 5 minutes before fluffing the rice with a fork.
  9. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of chorizo to your preference.
  • For a spicier dish, use hot chorizo.
  • Ensure your stock is well-seasoned as it contributes to the overall flavor.
