Brown Rice, Chicken, and Chorizo Paella
My husband is from Spain, so I started looking into paella recipes. It took me four times to get this brown rice paella right. Now it's his favorite dish, and he expects me to make it every week. I've tweaked this recipe to our tastes, as we like red peppers, capers, and black olives. The vinegar is a Spanish thing, so I always add it. You can leave a little broth in the paella or cook until the broth is fully absorbed — it's simply a matter of preference.
