About

Somewhere in between a rice side dish and a one-pot meal——a form of paella, really—this can serve as either. A few bits of chicken browned along with the chorizo will go a long way. I love this with the warm taste of mild chile powder, but you can use hotter chiles or omit them entirely.

Ingredients

2½ cups chicken or beef stock, preferably homemade
Large pinch of saffron threads

Method

Warm the stock gently in a saucepan with the saffron. Put the oil in a deep skillet with a lid over medium heat. A minute later, add the chorizo. Cook, stirring occasionally, until it begins to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, chile powder, and rice and continue to cook, stirring, until the rice is glossy, just a minute or two.
