We are incredibly fortunate to live close to a wonderful store called Manea's Meats in Sauk Rapids. They make an amazing assortment of chicken sausages ~ pure bliss for those of us trying to keep kosher in mid-Minnesota. A couple of days ago we picked up some chicken chorizo, and I was so excited about it that I had to make something really good. I came up with this recipe for dinner last night - very, very tasty and a dinner sized serving is only about 500 calories. Happy me.
Obviously, not everyone can find chicken chorizo, so use the regular pork/beef if you must, but it will be much fattier and higher calorie.
Chorizo Dirty Rice
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup water
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 pound bulk chicken chorizo
1 large sweet onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 sweet red pepper, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 can black beans, drained and rinsed
1. Bring broth and water to boil, add rice. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, brown chorizo in a large skillet. Drain fat if necessary. Add chopped vegetables and saute until onions are tender but peppers still have a bit of crispness. Remove from heat and add beans.
3. When rice is cooked, add to meat/vegi mixture and stir well. Reheat if necessary and serve immediately. Makes 4 main dish servings.
