A nice family meal with just enough kick and variety. In place of tomato puree, I just used a hefty squeeze of 2X strength tomato paste in a tube. For the chorizo, I used two hot lean turkey sausages cut into 1 inch pieces. Finally, I added 1/2 tsp turmeric for color. Dinner for several and lunch for me tomorrow! Enjoyed it very much.

A great method recipe for cooking rice with leftovers.....and VERY adaptable. I used leftover assorted roasted vegetables instead of the individual pepper, celery and onion and then broccoli instead of peas - just to show how versatile this recipe is! Everything else was a posted - with me using 8 drops of tabasco - I love it HOT!! A super recipe to keep, as the liquid to rice measurements are spot on and work like a dream. Made for Holiday Tag - another fine recipe idea from the Iclandic Kitchen of MP! Thanks - FT:-)

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
