We thoroughly enjoyed this dish and it was so easy and quick to make. Loved the flavor and the presentation was really nice as you can serve it in the same dish you cook it in. I could not find Spanish chorizo and Mexican chorizo would not work well as it is not firm enough -- so I used a local jalapeno sausage which gave the dish a little "kick". Otherwise made as directed and would not change a thing. Made for Fall PAC, 2012.
