Chorizo Beans And Rice Recipes

MEXICAN RICE AND BEANS WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil.
• Add onion and jalapeno peppers and cook about 5 minutes to soften.
• Add the chorizo and cook about 5 minutes, stirring, until it is cooked through.
• Add garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell the yummy garlic.
• Add the rice and stir. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring, to very lightly brown the rice.
• Add the black beans, tomato sauce and broth. Stir.
• Add the corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, and hot sauce if using. Stir and bring to a quick boil. NOTE: Feel free to add other seasonings that you LOVE. Flavor it up!
• Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid and is softened to your liking. If it needs more cooking, add a bit more broth and keep it simmering until you LOVE it.
• Remove from heat, cool slightly, and fluff with a fork. Top with cilantro for serving. Crumbled white cheese is great, too!

PORTUGUESE CHOURICO, BEANS, AND RICE

Steps:

• Bring the water to a boil in a pot; stir the rice into the boiling water, reduce heat to low, place cover on the pot, and allow the rice to cook until all the moisture is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
• As the rice cooks, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chourico in the hot oil for 2 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and the chourico has browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Stir the tomato sauce into the chourico mixture. Reduce heat to low. Season with the red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; simmer until thoroughly heated, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir the fava beans into the mixture and continue cooking just long enough for the beans to heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over rice.

• Add the tomatoes, chicken broth, chorizo and beans. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer 12-15 minutes or until thickened and chorizo is thoroughly cooked through. Remove bay leaf.
• Season to taste with salt, black pepper and hot sauce. Serve with brown rice and sauteed peppers.
