I love one pot dishes. They’re super easy to make and they save me heaps of time that I’d usually spend washing up. One of my favourite one pot dishes is the tasty chorizo rice pot that I’m going to share with you today. It’s the perfect summer/early autumn dish because it uses all those delicious holiday ingredients. If you want to recreate this flavoursome chorizo rice pot, simply follow the recipe below.
Chorizo rice pot – serves 4
Ingredients:
1 tbsp olive oil
1 medium onion
3 cloves of garlic
1 red pepper
200g long-grain rice
200ml chicken stock
500ml chopped tomatoes or passata
180g chorizo
150g frozen peas
herbs and spices of your choice
Method:
1. Peel and chop your onion and garlic. Fry in olive oil until gold brown on a high heat.
2. Chop your read pepper and add it, as well as the rice, to the frying pan. Fry for about 3 minutes on a medium heat and don’t forget to stir to avoid the rice sticking to your pan and burning.
3. Add your chicken stock and passata/chopped tomatoes to your frying pan. Bring to the boil, then cover and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
4. Cut your chorizo into fine slices and add to the frying pan. Let it simmer for another five minutes.
5. Finally, add yoor peas for a further five minutes and season with herbs and spices of your choice (we like Italian herbs, salt and pepper). Serve up and enjoy your quick and delicious chorizo rice pot.
Depending on your taste, you can also add some fried chicken or prawns to the dish to give it a little more depth. We can really recommend adding the chicken, but we also absolutely love this dish in its original form.

Oh I love a bit of chorizo – this looks delicious and just what we need here when it’s grey to warm us up!
This looks yum for my kids. I like slow cookers for one pot meals like lasagna or vegetable stew.
Shh, I’m ashamed to admit I’ve never cooked with choritzo! Mich x
That looks lovely – I’d be tempted to add the chicken as you said and also some chilli and make it like Jambalaya x x
I adore any food that contains chorizo, it always reminds me of long, hot summers in Barcelona!
Amazingly I have all these ingredients in the house and some cooked chicken! I spy tomorrow nights tea 🙂
