Chorizo sausages are full of flavour and make this simple rice and chorizo stew extra tasty. If possible buy cooking chorizo sausages that are uncooked, but cured chorizo is fine if you can't find them. This is a great mid-week meal and any leftovers are great to take to work as a packed lunch as it also taste great cold, maybe with a few strips of roasted red peppers from a jar stirred through.
Paprika is made from ground red peppers, some varieties are sweet, others are hot and spicy so check the label. Smoked paprika gives a lovely warmth to this dish.
