RICE WITH CHORIZO, SHRIMP AND GREEN OLIVES



Rice With Chorizo, Shrimp and Green Olives image

This is a recipe from Food and Wine magazine. Chorizo is a Spanish pork sausage that packs a lot of flavor. Don't skimp there! The chorizo is cooked so that it crisps in it's own spiced and yummy fat. Then the rice is prepared in the same pot so it absorbs any fat left in the pan, which gives it great flavor. Enjoy!

CHORIZO, SHRIMP AND YELLOW RICE



Chorizo, Shrimp and Yellow Rice image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 1/2 cups long grain rice, cooked according to package directions (but with the addition of 1/4 teaspoon turmeric or saffron and some butter and salt and pepper)
2 garden cucumbers, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch half moons
Orange zest
2 links of chorizo, cut into 1/4-inch rounds
12 ounces peeled and deveined shrimp cut into 1/2-inch chunks
Salt and pepper
Red pepper threads

Steps:

  • Start your dinner by making the rice; set the cucumbers in a steamer over water flavored with orange zest. Slowly fry the chorizo slices, turning once, in the olive oil until they render their fat. Add the shrimp and saute over high heat for a minute or until just turning opaque. Center rice on a platter, making a well in the center. Spoon the chorizo and shrimp in the middle and wreath it with steamed cucumber slices.

FILIPINO YELLOW RICE WITH SHRIMP AND CHORIZO



Filipino Yellow Rice with Shrimp and Chorizo image

Unlike many yellow rice recipes, this one - influenced by Spain's colonization of the Philippines - is a main course, similar to paella. I usually make it with jasmine rice, which is all about texture (slightly sticky and soft, yet firm enough to hold its shape) and smell (slight, but distinct floral notes). That said, I have substituted extra-long grain rice, the classic choice for Mexican- and Puerto Rican-style yellow rice, with good results. The shrimp and/or chorizo can be swapped with other quick-cooking proteins or vegetables. Use only vegetables and vegetable stock if you want to make the dish vegetarian.

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 quart chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon saffron threads
2 Cubanelle peppers, seeded and chopped
1 serrano chile or jalapeño, roughly chopped
1 head garlic, cloves peeled
1 small onion, quartered
1 bunch fresh cilantro, thick stems trimmed, leaves and thinner stems roughly chopped (about 2 lightly packed cups)
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound shrimp (16/20), peeled, deveined and tails removed
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 link Spanish chorizo (7.9 ounces), casing removed, cut into medium dice
4 cups jasmine rice
1 cup dry white wine
1/4 cup drained capers plus 3 tablespoons brine
2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

Steps:

  • Combine the broth and saffron in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. When the liquid boils, stir it, remove the pan from the heat and allow the saffron to steep while you continue with the recipe.
  • Add the peppers, chiles, garlic, onions and cilantro to a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Reserve 3/4 cup of the sofrito for the rice and refrigerate or freeze the remainder for another use (see Cook's Note).
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a 5-quart saucepan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the shrimp with the paprika and some salt and pepper. Add the shrimp to the pan and sear for 1 to 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and set aside; reserve the pan.
  • Lower the heat to medium low, then add the chorizo and remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the pan. Cook, stirring, until the fat rendered from the chorizo turns bright orange, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the chorizo to the plate with the shrimp; reserve the pan.
  • Add the rice to the pan and toast, stirring, until the rice turns orange from the rendered fat and begins to look opaque and chalky, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the reserved sofrito and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes. Add the wine, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan. Add the capers, brine and 2 teaspoons salt.
  • Stir in the saffron-infused chicken broth, then allow the rice to cook, undisturbed, until the surface pokes up slightly and little bubble "dimples" begin to form in the center, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir the rice, then flatten the top to allow the rice to cook evenly. Cover the pan, lower the heat to low and cook for 25 minutes without removing the lid (trust the process).
  • Remove from the heat and fluff the rice with a fork. Fold in the reserved shrimp and chorizo and the vinegar. Allow to sit covered for 5 minutes before serving.

Categories     Olive     Onion     Rice     Side     Christmas     Quick & Easy     Low/No Sugar     Lemon     Christmas Eve     Parsley     Simmer     Bon Appétit

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lemon
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 1/4 cups thinly sliced green onions
3 cups water
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted Kalamata olives or other brine-cured black olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh Italian parsley

Steps:

  • Using vegetable peeler, remove peel (yellow part only) from lemon in long strips.
  • Heat olive oil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat. Add sliced green onions and sauté until soft, about 2 minutes. Add 3 cups water, rice, 1 teaspoon salt and lemon peel. Bring to boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and cook without stirring until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes. Discard lemon peel. Mix chopped olives and parsley into rice. Cover and let stand 2 minutes. Transfer to bowl.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect pot of rice, use a ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1 1/2 cups of water. If you want your rice to be more flavorful, you can use a flavorful liquid like broth or coconut milk instead of water.
  • When cooking chorizo, be sure to cook it over medium heat to render out the fat. Once the chorizo is cooked, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
  • To cook shrimp, heat a little oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • To make the green olive sauce, simply combine green olives, olive oil, garlic, and parsley in a food processor and pulse until smooth.
  • To assemble the dish, simply add the rice, chorizo, shrimp, and green olive sauce to a bowl and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
