Ingredients
- 1 red bell pepper
- EVOO, for drizzling
- 12 ounces Spanish chorizo, diced into bite-size pieces
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup broken spaghetti
- 1 cup long-grain rice
- 1 healthy pinch saffron (about 24 threads)
- 1 quart chicken stock
- Kosher salt
- 4 cloves garlic, sliced
- 1 to 2 red Fresno chile peppers, sliced
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1/4 cup dry sherry or 1/2 cup white wine
- One 15-ounce can white beans or chickpeas, drained
- 1 small bundle black or Tuscan kale, stripped and chopped or shredded
- Freshly grated nutmeg
Directions
- Place the red pepper over a gas flame on the stovetop to char it or blacken it under the broiler. Then place in a bowl and cover. Once cool, peel, seed and chop.
- Heat a drizzle of EVOO in a Dutch oven or deep skillet. Add the chorizo and render for a few minutes.
- Meanwhile, heat a drizzle of EVOO and the butter in a saucepot over medium heat. Add the pasta to the pot and toast to golden. Add the rice and saffron and about 2 1/2 cups of the chicken stock. Bring to a boil and sprinkle with salt. Cover the pot and cook the rice to tender, 17 to 18 minutes.
- Add the garlic, chiles and onions to the chorizo and cook to tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and deglaze the pan with the sherry. Next, add the beans, roasted peppers, kale, 1 cup of the chicken stock and a few grates of nutmeg and cover to wilt the greens.
- Serve the rice in shallow bowls and top with the sausage and beans.
- Cook's Note: Use the remaining 1/2 cup stock if the rice cooks too quickly or the chorizo and beans get too dry.
