PORTUGUESE CHOURICO, BEANS, AND RICE



Portuguese Chourico, Beans, and Rice image

I grew up on chourico, and this dish is a Portuguese comfort food that my mom always made. I took it upon myself to replicate it with a bit more kick, but even with the changes, it reminds me of being a kid. It's such a warm and satisfying dish.

Time 40m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups water
1 cup uncooked white rice
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 dried chourico sausage, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices
¼ Spanish onion, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 ½ cups tomato sauce
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
½ (14.5 ounce) can fava beans, rinsed and drained

Steps:

  • Bring the water to a boil in a pot; stir the rice into the boiling water, reduce heat to low, place cover on the pot, and allow the rice to cook until all the moisture is absorbed, about 30 minutes.
  • As the rice cooks, heat the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chourico in the hot oil for 2 minutes. Add the onions and garlic to the sausage and continue cooking until the vegetables are soft and the chourico has browned, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir the tomato sauce into the chourico mixture. Reduce heat to low. Season with the red pepper flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper; simmer until thoroughly heated, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir the fava beans into the mixture and continue cooking just long enough for the beans to heat, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve over rice.

PORTUGUESE BEANS WITH RICE



Portuguese Beans With Rice image

As with most Portugese recipes, simple ingredients with tasty results! It calls for dried beans, so be sure to soak them overnight beforehand. I would like to try this with a short grain brown rice instead of aborio.

Categories     Short Grain Rice

Time 1h30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

12 ounces dried white beans
4 ounces chorizo sausage (chopped into bite sized pieces)
8 ounces arborio rice (or other short grain rice)
3 ounces bacon
1 onion
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 ripe tomatoes
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 bay leaf
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, minced
1 pinch red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to your taste)
pepper

Steps:

  • Soak the beans overnight for at least 6 hours. Drain them and put them into a pot, covering them with cold, lightly salted water. Add in the chorizo. Cover and bring to a boil then lower the heat and allow to simmer for about an hour until the beans are tender but not overcooked.
  • While the beans are cooking, prepare the rice by boiling it in lightly salted water and straining once al dente. (Or you could use your rice cooker). Set the rice aside.
  • Peel the onion and garlic and chop together with the bacon. Saute them together in a pan with the olive oil. Clean the tomatoes, removing their seeds, and dice them, then add them to the saute pan.
  • Add the bay leaf, parsley, salt and pepper to the pan, as well as the red pepper flakes if you are using. Allow to cook on medium heat until the onions are fully cooked.
  • Add the rice to the pan, keep stirring, allowing the rice to soak up all the flavours in the pan for a minute or two.
  • Put the rice mixture into a bowl and stir in the drained beans and chorizo. Enjoy!
