Preparation Steps
1
Thoroughly rinse the rice in cold water to remove excess starch. This helps the rice become fluffy.
2
Slice the chorizo sausage into thin rounds. Finely chop the onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Mince the fresh parsley.
3
Heat the olive oil in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the chorizo slices and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until they release their flavorful oil.
4
Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and bell pepper, and sauté for another 2 minutes.
5
Stir in the tomato paste, mix well, and cook for 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
6
Add the rice to the skillet and stir well to coat it with the spiced oil and vegetables.
7
Pour in the water, add the salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Stir once, then cover the pot and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes.
8
Turn off the heat and let the rice rest, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to fully develop.
9
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
