Chimichurri Rice Bowls With Chorizo And Avocado Recipes

CHIMICHURRI RICE BOWLS WITH CHORIZO AND AVOCADO

Steps:

• Heat 3 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, jalapeno, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until the vegetables start to soften, 3 to 4 minutes.
• If using cooked chorizo, cut into small dice, add the diced chorizo and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, about 2 minutes.
• If using fresh chorizo, remove the casings, add the chorizo and cook, breaking into small pieces with the wooden spoon and stirring occasionally, until no longer pink in the center and fully cooked, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Combine the chopped cilantro, parsley and scallions with the vinegar, remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper in a mini food processor and process until the herbs and scallions are finely chopped and the chimichurri is well combined, scraping down the sides as needed.
• Stir the chimichurri into the rice. Divide the rice among 4 bowls, then top with the chorizo, tomatoes and avocado. Drizzle each bowl with the crema and garnish with more cilantro leaves.

CHORIZO HOT DOGS WITH CHIMICHURRI

Steps:

• First, make the chimichurri. Combine the ingredients in a bowl with ½ tsp salt and set aside. Will keep for up to one day in the fridge. To save on chopping time, you can also blitz the ingredients together in a small food processor until combined but not smooth.
• Heat the grill to medium-high, or light a barbecue and wait until the flames have died down. Put the sausages on a foil-lined tray and grill for 12-15 mins, or cook on the barbecue until sizzling and cooked, turning halfway through.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the shallots for 10-15 mins until soft and starting to brown. Stir in the vinegar and honey and cook for a few minutes more until sticky.
• Warm the hot dog buns under the grill, on a griddle pan or the barbecue, and cut the cooked sausages in half lengthways, if you've used short cooking sausages. Stuff the buns with the sausages, then top with a big spoonful of chimichurri, some chopped tomato, the crumbled feta, some chilli slices, a few coriander leaves and the sticky shallots.

SWISS CHARD RICE BOWL WITH CHORIZO

Steps:

• In a medium pot, combine rice with 2 1/3 cups lightly salted water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover pot and cook until rice is tender, 40 to 50 minutes. Let stand off the heat, covered, for 10 minutes. Toss in 1 tablespoon butter and salt to taste.
• Meanwhile, cut the chard leaves into 2-inch pieces and the stems into 1/2-inch lengths.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Toast cumin seeds in the dry pan until they are fragrant and slightly darker in color, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour cumin onto a plate to stop the cooking.
• Add 1 tablespoon oil to the pan, let it heat for a few seconds, then add chorizo patties and cook until golden on both sides and cooked through, about 7 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add 2 tablespoons oil to the skillet, then add garlic. Cook until golden and crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer garlic to a paper-towel-lined plate.
• Add chard stems and a large pinch of salt to the skillet. Cook until stems are almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add chard leaves, another pinch of salt, 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon vinegar. Cook until leaves are wilted, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Toss chard with rice, toasted cumin, the remaining 3 tablespoons olive oil, the chives, 1 tablespoon vinegar, the paprika, and salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. In a small bowl, toss together parsley, garlic chips, a generous drizzle of oil and large pinch fleur de sel. Divide rice into serving bowls, top with chorizo and sprinkle with parsley-garlic mixture.
