Receta de magnifico! It can be a one meal in itself but we also served it with Recipe #371131 along with Recipe #113983. I used ground beef though when I fried it in extra virgin olive oil then added the rest if the ingredients and also used fresh vined tomatoes. After baking, it looked so nice! Muchas gracias!Made for ZWT5.

Receta de Fantasic as they say in spain! very filling and extremely tasty. I changed a couple of things, I put in chopped tinned plum tomatos due to a lack of fresh ones (I like cherry toms and would have had to use loads!) and I cut down the amount of rice used from 4 cups to 1 cup as it would have exploded out of my casserole dish! The chorizo just flavoured the dish so well. This would make a perfect winter warmer without being too heavy! fabuloso!
