Spicy Chorizo Rice

Spicy Chorizo Rice is a very delicious and easy one-pot meal perfect for sharing. It is flavoured with spicy Spanish sausage Chorizo and slow-cooked with rice and spices.

Spicy Chorizo Rice Pot is a very quick and easy meal to prepare. These sausages are made with coarsely ground meat, cooked with spices and vinegar. It is packed with so much flavour that you don’t need to add too many things to make this one-pot rice.

I had Chorizo sausage lying in my pantry for quite some time now. My first thought was to prepare a chorizo and red kidney bean stew casserole.  But I wanted to fix a complete meal, so decided to make this spicy chorizo rice with some Indian spices, which took me less then half an hour to prepare and set in on the dinner table. 

Chorizo! Chorizo! This gorgeous Spanish spicy pork sausages is packed with amazing flavours of pork and smoked paprika together. Yum! Thanks to the Spanish for inventing this amazing sausages… One of the best way to enjoy chorizo is cooking it with rice.. Like this flavourful recipe.. 😀

In Goa, India you do get a similar type of sausage known as Goan pork sausage or Goan Choriz. Goan pork sausage is similar to Spanish Chorizo and now it is readily available in certain parts of India other than Goa. You will need to hunt for these choriz a little but trust me it will be worth all the efforts. 

Chorizo is one of the handiest ingredients and you can comfortably store them in your pantry & use at short notice. You can make a tasty meal effortlessly within minutes. You can use it to prepare so many elaborate delicious dishes which will look wonderful on your dining table.

I hope you get to make & enjoy it just as much as we did. It’s the perfect meal when you are too lazy to make anything elaborate.
