One-Pot King Prawn and Chorizo Spanish Rice

One-Pot King Prawn and Chorizo Spanish Rice, Lay The Table


Heres a fantastic use for leftover cooked rice. The key to the flavour is to get good quality uncooked chorizo sausages. Mine were from Spanish emporium Brindisa, a birthday present from my friend Mark. They release so much smoky sweet paprika oil which flavours the rice and the prawns. A pure joy. 


Serves 2


Cooked leftover basmati rice
1 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
1 red or orange pepper, deseeded and diced
2 uncooked chorizo sausages
200ml chicken or vegetable stock
10 uncooked, peeled King Prawns
