Chorizo Rice

This is a great breakfast treat!

Get some cooked rice (preferably some you've saved up, stored somewhere in the fridge that you forgot about. hehehe!) a couple of chorizos, an onion a pinch of saffron soaked in a bit of water (or you can use the powdered stuff) and extra virgin olive oil.

Cut up the chorizo as small as you can get them. Finely chop the onions as well. Heat some EVOO, sautee the chorizo till they're cooked, if you can get them to go crunchy without burning them, that's better! Add the onions and cook till translucent. Add the rice and sautee a bit, you can add a couple tablespoons of water to steam the rice. Add the saffron soaked in water and mix well to get the color even.

Shrimp Pasta

I like food I can prepare in a pinch... the Shrimp Pasta is another favorite of mine.

You can get either fresh of frozen shrimps for this. Sautee onions in extra virgin olive oil till translucent. Add in some garlic, capers and diced tomatoes. When the tomatoes are softened, add the shelled shrimps and cook for about 2 minutes. Try not to overcook the shrimps because they tend to turn dry and rubbery. Toss in cooked pasta and oregano. Plate it and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese.

A definite comfort food! :D
