Ingredients

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion (chopped)
2 jalapeno peppers (chopped - Or MORE as desired)
8 ounces Mexican chorizo
4 cloves garlic (chopped)
1-1/2 cups long grain rice
12 ounces diced tomatoes
12 ounces black beans (canned)
2 cups chicken broth ( + more as needed)
½ cup frozen corn (or fresh corn if you can get it!)
1-2 tablespoons chili powder (I used a combination of ancho powder and cayenne powder)
½ teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon Mexican oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
1-2 tablespoons favorite hot sauce (+ more for serving)
Cilantro and crumbly white cheese for serving

Steps:

Heat a large pan to medium heat and add olive oil.
Add onion and jalapeno peppers and cook about 5 minutes to soften.
Add the chorizo and cook about 5 minutes, stirring, until it is cooked through.
Add garlic and cook another minute, until you can smell the yummy garlic.
Add the rice and stir. Cook for a couple minutes, stirring, to very lightly brown the rice.
Add the black beans, tomato sauce and broth. Stir.
Add the corn, chili powder, cumin, oregano, salt and pepper, and hot sauce if using. Stir and bring to a quick boil. NOTE: Feel free to add other seasonings that you LOVE. Flavor it up!
Reduce the heat and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid and is softened to your liking. If it needs more cooking, add a bit more broth and keep it simmering until you LOVE it.
Remove from heat, cool slightly, and fluff with a fork. Top with cilantro for serving. Crumbled white cheese is great, too!

BLACK BEAN-CHORIZO STEW

Black Bean-Chorizo Stew image

This chili-like stew relies on spicy, fresh green chorizo for its bright, zesty flavor. It only takes half an hour to make your own green chorizo, but you can substitute any kind of fresh (uncured) store-bought sausage, as long as it's got a kick. Then add some chopped garlic, along with minced parsley and roasted poblano pepper for the green factor. Serve it over rice, or with corn or flour tortillas on the side. Here are several other dishes you can make with chorizo.

Spanish Rice with Chorizo Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by á-34480

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 (15 oz.) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 (10 oz.) can Rotel diced tomatoes and chilies
1 cup chicken broth (or any broth)
1 medium sweet bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 small yellow onion, chopped
1/2 cup uncooked rice
1 tsp. chili powder
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
3/4 lb. chorizo sausage links, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces (about 4 links)

Steps:

Place a wide, high-sided skillet or pot over high heat. Add the beans, Rotel, broth, bell pepper, onion, rice, chili powder, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine. Cover the pot. Bring liquid to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sliced sausage. Cover. Continue to simmer until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed (about 10 minutes for white rice). Remove the pot from the heat. Uncover and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality Spanish chorizo. You can find it in most specialty food stores.
If you don't have any Spanish chorizo, you can substitute another type of cured sausage, such as pepperoni or salami.
Be sure to rinse the black beans before cooking. This will help to remove any dirt or debris.
If you don't have any canned black beans, you can cook dried black beans. To do this, soak the beans in water overnight, then drain and rinse them. Cover the beans with fresh water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 1-2 hours, or until the beans are tender.
You can add other vegetables to this dish, such as diced bell peppers, onions, or carrots.
Serve this dish with your favorite sides, such as rice, tortillas, or salad.
