There’s no saffron rice in this potato and chorizo paella, but white rice is augmented with sliced red potatoes, and turmeric adds a yellow tinge to the rice and potatoes. Serve it for a hearty dinner or for crowd gatherings.
The recipe was created by Black Gold Farms, fourth-generation family farm and grower of potatoes. The recipe uses chorizo as the protein, mixed with onion, garlic, peas, bell pepper, and cilantro. You can tailor the recipe as you like, adding other paella proteins such as chicken, clams, mussels, and shrimp. Prep time is 10 minutes, cook time is 45 minutes. There are more paella recipes below.
