1/2 pound of chorizo
1 medium yellow onion, diced
5 cloves garlic, diced
1 celery stalk, diced
1/2 tspn cayenne pepper
1 tspn salt
1/2 tspn red pepper flakes
2 cups of cooked medium grain rice
2 tbsp Worchestershire sauce
3 green onions, chopped
2 tbsp fresh cilantro, chopped
Preparation:
- Cook chorizo in a skillet over medium heat for about 10 minutes.
- Add the onion, garlic, celery, cayenne pepper, salt, red pepper flakes and Worchestershire sauce to the skillet. Cook for an additional 10 minutes over medium heat.
- In a large bowl, combine the rice, cilantro, and green onions and mix well.
- Add the chorizo mixture to the bowl of rice and mix until all of the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Serve hot. Optional: serve with a dollop of sour cream.
