Instructions
 

  • Heat a Dutch Oven on medium high heat with a bit of oil.
    2 tbsp olive oil
  • When pan is hot, add chorizo, minced garlic, bell pepper and onion. Saute and stir for 3-4 minutes until peppers start to soften and chorizo is mainly done. 
    1/2 bell pepper, 1/2 onion, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1/2 lb chorizo
  • Add uncooked rice, tomatoes, chicken broth, water, beans, corn, smoked paprika and cumin. Stir together and simmer with the lid on over medium heat for 15 minutes. 
    8 oz pkg yellow saffron rice, 14.5 oz fire roasted tomatoes, 14.5 oz chicken broth, 1.5 cups water, 14.5 oz red beans, 8.25 oz corn, 2 tbsp smoked paprika, 1 tbsp cumin
  • Stir and check the moisture level and rice doneness.
    If rice isn’t done, and there’s still liquid – cook for 5 min more. 
    If rice isn’t done, but pot is dry and starting to stick – lower heat and add 1/2 cup water and cook for five minutes more.
    If rice is done – you’re ready to serve!
  • Stir to mix everything and top with sliced green olives. Add chopped fresh cilantro as well if you like!
    1/4 cup green olives, salt & pepper to taste
