Spicy Spanish Rice with Chorizo

Everyone has their favourite Spanish rice recipe, this one is mine. If you don't want it too spicy leave out the hot chilies.


Spicy Spanish Rice with Chorizo

3 tablespoons corn oil
2 cups long grain rice
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 red or green sweet pepper,chopped
2 small stalks celery chopped
4 garlic cloves, chopped
1-28 ounce can San Marzano tomatoes
2-3 cups water
2-3 chorizo sausages, baked til almost cooked through,chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
Pinch red hot crushed chilies
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 vegetable boullion cube

In a Dutch oven, heat oil, add onion, celery my sweet pepper, sauté for a few minutes, add rice and garlic, sauté for 2 minutes until rice starts to brown a little bit, then add the tomatoes, and water, stir well, bring to boil, add the boullion cube, salt, pepper and spices, stir well, lower heat, simmer for 10 minutes, add the chopped Chorizo sausage, turn heat to low, stir and simmer for another 10 minutes, then turn heat off, put lid on until rice is tender. This is a great meal unto itself, or an accompaniment to chicken. You can also add cooked left over chicken to the rice dish.
