So, foodies, what is your warm-up meal? (Or for those in the warmer climates, what is your comfort meal?) Let’s share some recipes…Here’s one I made up one night… :mmm:
Chorizo and White Bean Rice
about 1/2 link hot chorizo (diced or cut into rounds or sticks)
about 1/2 link mild chorizo (diced or cut into rounds or sticks)
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 cup rice (uncooked, basmati)
1/4 red onion, diced
Equal amounts: celery (starting with the leaves) and carrots, diced (equal amounts to the onion)
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon rubbed sage
1 box chicken broth
1 can drained, rinsed cannellini beans
Cook/render chorizo over medium-high to high heat (don’t burn!). Remove from pan leaving oil. Add olive oil and cook carrot, onion and celery for about 2 minutes. Add rice and gently stir to coat. Add chicken broth, cumin, salt and sage and cover to cook rice. Stir frequently. When rice is done, liquid should be mostly absorbed. Add chorizo back into the pan and beans. Stir and let heat through.
