hi, there! I love chorizo and whenever we are eating Mexican for dinner, I make this wonderfully tasty and easy rice recipe!. it uses chorizo, of course!
BAKED MEXICAN RICE
yield: 4 servings
1 onion, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
1/3 cup olive oil
1 cup rice
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon fresly grated pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder (the real stuff)
1 4 oz jar whole button mushrooms
8 slices chorizo (I use an entire link)
1 1/2 cups chicken or beef broth
grated parmesan cheese
Directions:
Saute the onion and garlic in the oil til soft!. Add the rice and seasonings and brown the rice lightly!. Add the mushrooms, chorizo and enough boiling stock to come 1 inch above the rice, Transfer to an oven proof dish, cover with foil and bake in a 350 oven till liquid is completely absorbed - about 30 to 35 minutes!. Sprinkle with cheese
NOTE: I always add in a can of diced tomatoes or you can use ROTEL!. WalMart has their own brand of ROTEL!. In case you don't know, ROTEL is canned tomatoes and chilies!. Very nice and spicy!
I also use a short grain rice such as BLUE ROSE variety!.
Another thing we do is to put slices of chorizo onto our homemade pizza instead of pepperoni!.
If you really love chorizo, why not try making your own!? There are plenty of recipes online!. The one I like is called "Chorizo Authentico"
I'm searching my recipe box for the recipe and when I find it, I'll send it to you! You will never again have to buy chorizo!Www@FoodAQ@Com
