Cajun Black Bean and Chorizo Dirty Rice

in #food7 years ago

There are definitely occasions that call for the most expensive and fancy foods, but in day to day life it's nice to have beans and rice sometimes. I’m pretty sure that basically every culture has some form or other of this staple meal because, let’s face it, it’s cheap.

I don’t know about you but I happen to love beans and rice. When I was little my dad used to make the Zatarain’s Cajun box mixes all the time so those flavors are really nostalgic and warm fuzzy for me and now it’s probably my favorite way to eat beans and rice.

The way I see it, if you can master the art of making beans and rice taste amazing with minimal ingredients then your pretty much set for life in the cooking department. I know I added the chorizo to mine, because the truth is that it adds so much more flavor that way, but you could totally go meatless with this recipe and it would still be amazing. It’s all in the spices here.

This is a great meal to make for a big group or just a budget friendly weeknight dinner that makes great leftovers. In fact it gets better leftover. Make a big huge pot of it and freeze the extra for later or invite some friends over and show off your mad skills with making simple ingredients into a from-scratch meal with unrivaled flavor.

How spicy is this? I am a lightweight? I can eat chorizo with eggs for example. It looks yummy!

Well, the spice will depend a lot on how spicy your sausage is so I'd suggest using a mild type. Thanks for reading @jjsolley.
