Authentic Spanish Rice Recipes -
Baked Spanish Rice

It's a problem deciding which ones to include on this site!

Below, you have a Spanish recipe for "Arroz al Horno" - or Baked Spanish Rice.

It's a hearty, winter meal, using two other ingrediants extremely popular in Spain - spicy, chorizo sausage and healthy chickpeas.

Crumbled strands of wonderful Spanish saffron give the rice its sunny, yellow colour, and beautiful aroma.

To skin tomatoes, just cut a cross in the underneath part, place in boiling water for a minute, then refresh under the cold water tap.

The skin should then peel off easily.

Too lazy to skin them? Cut in half, grate, and discard the skins!

Can't lay your hands on chorizo sausage? Use any spicy sausage ... or blackpudding!

Ingrediants are for a good four servings but, if you prefer less rice, decrease the amount, remembering to reduce stock as well.
