2 tablespoons olive oil

2 poblano chiles, roasted, peeled, seeded and julienned
1 cup chicken stock

Steps:

  • Preheat grill or broiler.

Add garlic and cook an additional minute or two, stirring, then add paprika and cumin and cook 1 minute. Add julienned peppers, chiles and chicken stock and cook 10 to15 minutes or until mixture thickens. Adjust with salt and pepper. Meanwhile, grill the chorizo links about 8 to10 minutes over a moderately hot fire or broiler, turning often until cooked through to the center. To serve, place chorizo on a bed of the quinoa pilaf and top with the pepper mixture.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I would recommend adding more seasoning to the chorizo and roasted peppers. The quinoa was cooked perfectly, though.

Overall, this dish was good. The chorizo was a little dry, but the quinoa and roasted peppers were delicious. I would make this dish again, but I would cook the chorizo for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was a little too spicy for me, but it was still very good. The chorizo was flavorful and the quinoa was cooked perfectly. I would recommend using a milder type of chorizo if you don't like spicy food.

I'm not a big fan of chorizo, but I loved this dish! The quinoa and roasted peppers were so flavorful that they balanced out the chorizo perfectly. I'll definitely be making this again, but I'll use a different type of sausage next time.
