Seasoned Rice with Chorizo
Seasoned Rice with Chorizo
Most meals around our house are like an episode of The Food Network's Iron Chef. We never know what we're going to have too far in-advance.
It usually starts with "You know we have ________ in the fridge yet".
However, in this case, I was digging through the freezer looking for a protein. Chicken - nah, just had it. Beef - nope, need to give it a rest. Pork chops - mmm nah-uh, just not feelin' it.
Tonight's secret ingredient is...Chorizo sausage! Allez Cuisine!
Now...what to do with it? This is what I came up with...
Ingredients:
1 cup rice (Lundberg)
2 cups of gluten-free chicken broth (Kitchen Basics, Swanson’s, Pacific, Imagine)
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
Penzey's Forward seasoning
Klemment's gluten-free chorizo sausage - sliced
1 or 2 carrots, finely diced
1/2 cup diced white onion
Salt & Pepper
Granulated garlic
Olive Oil
Green Peas (frozen, but fresh if you've got 'em)
Fresh Parsley - roughly chopped
Directions:
Combine rice, broth, butter, salt and seasoning in a pot. Bring to boil and stir once. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
Add olive oil and carrots to large pan saute on med-high heat until carrots start to soften. Add a bit of water to help steam carrots.
Add onion and stir
Season with salt, pepper, granulated garlic
Add sausage to pan and stir.
Lower heat once everything is heated thru
Add rice to pan when it's finished cooking.
Mix ingredients well.
Add chopped fresh parsley right at the end.
Until the next good eats - cook well and be well.
