Chorizo And Basil Pilaf Recipes

CHORIZO PILAF

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pan with a lid. Add the onion and cook for 5-8 mins until soft and golden. Push to the side of the pan and add the chorizo. Cook until lightly browned and some of the oils are released into the pan.
• Add the garlic and paprika, then the tomatoes. Bubble over a medium heat for 5 mins, then add the rice, stock, lemon zest and bay leaves. Stir everything together well and bring to the boil. Put the lid on and cook over a very low heat for 12 mins.
• Turn off the heat and leave to sit and steam for 10-15 mins. Stir through the parsley and serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over.

RICE PILAF WITH CHORIZO CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Put the saffron in small pot with 1 1/2 cups stock and about 1 cup water. Bring to boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and let steep for a few minutes while you prepare the chorizo and onions.
• Heat a skillet with a tight fitting lid over medium-high heat. Remove the casings from the chorizo and slice about 1 to 1 1/2 inches thick, on an angle. Add a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil to the hot skillet and add the chorizo. Brown evenly on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes total. Remove the chorizo to a plate and add another drizzle of oil to the skillet along with the onions. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the pimientos and peas and stir to heat through. Deglaze the pan with sherry or wine and stir 1 to 2 minutes. Remove them from the pan to the plate with the chorizo.
• Return the pan to medium heat and melt 2 tablespoons of the butter. Add the pasta and stir until deeply golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the rice and stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan and cook for 18 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.
• Grease a casserole with the remaining 1 tablespoon of softened butter. Fill the casserole with cooked rice and top with an arrangement of the chorizo and onion mixture. Cool and chill as a make-ahead meal. Reheat by dousing the casserole with 1/2 cup chicken stock then putting it in preheated 375 degree F oven, loosely covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and bake for about until heated through and barely crispy at edges, about 10 minutes. Top with parsley and serve.

CHORIZO AND BASIL PILAF

Steps:

• Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cut each chorizo in half, length ways, then slice into 5mm thick pieces. Put chorizo into pan and fry gently for 3-5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
• Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring for 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook for a further minute, until onion is soft. Add cumin, coriander, tumeric and chilli and cook, stirring for 1 minute until fragrant.
• Add rice. Stir to coat with oil and spices then add capsicum and stock.
• Bring to the boil, reduce heat to medium/low. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until rice is tender and stock has been absorbed.
• Stir in chorizo and basil. Cover and remove pan from heat. Stand for 5 minutes or until chorizo has been heated through.
• Serve into bowls and season with salt & pepper if desired.

BEEF, CHORIZO, AND CHILE FLAUTAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place peppers, cut-sides down, onto the prepared baking sheet.
• Roast peppers in the preheated oven until the skins are brown and crispy, about 15 minutes. Place blackened peppers into a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Allow peppers to steam as they cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard skins. Dice flesh and set aside.
• Combine ground chuck and chorizo in a bowl, kneading together as evenly as possible.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a pot over medium heat. Add meat and cook and stir until browned and crumbly, about 10 minutes. Strain out 90% of the grease.
• Stir beer, salsa, chile powder, garlic powder, cumin, onion powder, salt, marjoram, black pepper, and cayenne into the meat. Stir in 1/2 of the diced chile peppers. Crank up the heat and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer until most of the liquid has disappeared, about 2 hours; don't let all the liquid evaporate or you'll have dry meat.
• Brush one side of a tortilla with some of the remaining canola oil. On the dry side, about 1/2 inch from one side of the tortilla, spoon a line of beef and chorizo, sprinkle with Colby-Jack cheese, and top with some diced chile peppers. Roll the loaded side over multiple times until the tortilla is in a tight roll. Make sure it is tight by tucking the first rotation up under the meat. Set rolled tortilla seam-side down on the wire rack of an air fryer. Repeat with remaining tortillas.
• Preheat an air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Fry in the preheated air fryer for 6 minutes. Serve immediately.

CHORIZO AND CHICKPEA RICE

Steps:

• Put the rice into a pan and pour over 700ml cold water. Bring to the boil and simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been fully absorbed.
• Meanwhile, heat the oil in a pan and cook the chorizo and onion for 5-6 minutes or until the onion is soft.
• Add the chickpeas and tomatoes and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the tomatoes start to soften and the chickpeas are heated through. Stir through the cooked rice and spoon into four bowls to serve.

• Let stand, covered, until shrimp are opaque throughout, 3 minutes.
