Tomato Chorizo Rice Recipes

SPANISH CHORIZO RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a saucepan, cook the sliced ​​chorizo ​​for 2-3 minutes over medium heat until a little oil is released, stirring occasionally. Remove from the pan and set aside.
• Add olive oil, and heat for one minute. Then add the onion, red pepper, green pepper, a pinch of salt, and cook until tender.
• After that add the tomato, minced garlic, and cook until the tomato is tender, for about 5 minutes.
• Then add the chorizo, rice, thyme and mix well. Cook for 2 minutes so that the rice absorbs the flavors.
• For the final step add water, saffron, chicken broth powder, and mix well. Adjust the salt point if necessary.
• Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, and cook with the lid on for 20 minutes. With the help of a fork, move the rice to make it lighter and it is ready to serve.

TOMATO, RED WINE & CHORIZO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic, finely chop the chorizo, then pick and finely chop the parsley leaves, finely chopping the stalks.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a wide, shallow pan. Add the parsley stalks, shallot, garlic and chorizo to the heated oil and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the shallot is softened and the chorizo is beginning to crisp.
• In another pan, heat the stock with the tinned tomatoes. Add the rice to the shallot mixture and stir to coat the grains. Cook over a high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the grains have cracked and are slightly translucent at the tips, then pour in the red wine.
• Stir well and cook until almost all the wine has evaporated. Add the hot stock and tomato mixture, ladle by ladle, stirring well with each addition, and only adding more when the previous ladle is almost fully absorbed. You may not need all of the mixture, or you may need to top it up with a little water.
• The rice should be tender but with a little bite in the middle. When it's cooked, add one last ladle of liquid.
• Finely grate the Parmesan, then add to the pan with some seasoning. Stir well, take off the heat and cover. Leave for 5 minutes or so before stirring again, tasting and adjusting the seasoning, if necessary.
• Serve topped with extra grated Parmesan and the chopped parsley leaves.

SPANISH CHORIZO RICE

Steps:

• In a large, non-stick frying pan or French pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and fry, until the chorizo has become crispy and browned around the edges. Remove the chorizo from the pan and set aside for later.
• Leaving the oil from the cooked chorizo in the pan over medium heat, add the onion, garlic, paprika, cumin, pepper and chilli powder and stir until fragrant. Add the rice and stir for a few minutes, until the rice becomes clear.
• Add the vegetables, stock and tomato paste and stir. Bring to a low simmer.
• Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Cook, covered, for 10-15 minutes, until the rice has almost cooked through. You may need to stir the rice once or twice to prevent sticking. Keep an eye on the amount of stock in the dish, as it will absorb into the rice while cooking. Add a little more, if required.
• Add the chorizo back into the pan, stir and cover. Turn the heat off and allow to sit, covered, for around 5 minutes.
• Stir through the lime juice and parsley and serve immediately, with extra lime wedges.

TOMATO & CHORIZO RICE

Steps:

• Heat a large frying pan on a medium-high heat. Add the sliced chorizo halves, cut-side down, and cook until the oil starts to come out and they begin to crisp at the edges.
• Tip the onion and garlic into the pan with the chorizo slices, and cook for a few mins more. Stir in the paprika and rice, mix well so that all the grains are coated, then pour in the hot chicken stock and add the roasted peppers. Stir everything, then cover the pan with a lid and cook for 5 mins.
• Stir in the tomatoes and olives, and cook 8-10 mins more until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed into it.

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
• In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer in the pan, and cook until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes, then add the salt.
• Put the cooked rice in an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish, then fold in the tomato sauce. (You can also do the folding in a separate bowl and then transfer the rice to the baking dish, if you doubt your ability to not spill rice and sauce everywhere.) Evenly distribute the grated cheese over the top.
• Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the top oven rack. Broil for about 3 minutes, until the top bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve immediately.

TOMATO & CHORIZO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sizzle the chorizo for 1 min until some of the oil starts to come out. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add the risotto rice and cook for 1 min. Splash in the vinegar, then add the tomatoes and stir well.
• Gradually add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time - stir the rice until the stock is absorbed, then add the next ladleful. With the last ladleful of stock, add the peas and keep stirring until the rice is cooked. Turn off the heat and stir through the Parmesan and parsley, if using. Serve straight from the pan, with extra Parmesan, if you like.

SPANISH RICE & PRAWN ONE-POT

Steps:

• Boil the kettle. In a non-stick frying or shallow pan with a lid, fry the onion, peppers, chorizo and garlic in the oil over a high heat for 3 mins. Stir in the rice and chopped tomatoes with 500ml boiling water, cover, then cook over a high heat for 12 mins.
• Uncover, then stir - the rice should be almost tender. Stir in the prawns, with a splash more water if the rice is looking dry, then cook for another min until the prawns are just pink and rice tender.
