Ingredients
- 1/4 pound chorizo sausage, crumbled or finely diced
- 1 cup finely chopped yellow onions
- 1/2 cup finely chopped red bell peppers
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 2 cups long grain rice
- 4 cups chicken stock
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron threads
- 1 cup green peas, thawed if frozen
Directions
In a large saucepan, cook the sausage over medium-high heat until browned and the fat is rendered. Add the onions and bell peppers, and cook, stirring, until very soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until opaque, about 1 minute. Add the stock, salt, and saffron, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until almost all the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Add the peas without stirring, re-cover and cook until all the water is absorbed, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

My family and I really enjoyed this. I had the Mexican kind of chorizo which I believe is the wrong one for this dish. In an effort to make do I cooked the 12 oz chorizo till it was basically liquid and then strained it. There was not much left and it was quite soft but it did taste very good with the rice and other ingredients. I also added a cup of tiny scallops with the peas for kicks and it was great.
