Mexican rice is a beloved side dish known for its bright flavors and comforting texture. My twist of this tradition dish is swapping in brown rice for white rice and adding chorizo, spinach and cheese to elevate the recipe into something special.

Ingredients
  • 1/2 cup brown long grain rice
  • 1 cup passata or tomato paste
  • 1 cup stock vegetable or chicken
  • 1.5 ounces chorizo cut in strips
  • 2.5 ounces spinach coarsely chopped
  • 1.5 ounces Manchego cheese grated
  • 1/2 teaspoon oregano
  • salt & pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Transfer passata and stock to a oven-save dish and cook it in the oven until just boiling.
Add the rice and stir. Cover the dish and place it back in the oven and cook for about 45 minutes until the rice is al dente or softer (if you prefer).
Cut the chorizo in strips and cook in a little bit of olive oil in a skillet, until crispy. Add the coarsely chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Set aside.
When the rice is done and still a little wet, that’s fine, cheese will be added in the next step. If the rice is too dry before it is done, add more stock.
Add chorizo, spinach, Manchego cheese and oregano to the rice and mix. Allow the cheese to melt. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Mix and serve.
ENJOY !
Tips
