A super tasty, super easy Spanish Rice One Pot recipe. Great for weeknight dinner and always guarantees empty plates!

Spanish rice with chorizo is super popular with my family and it's one the kids really love. Especially if there's a side of garlic bread for scooping up the rice with.

And this is a recipe I love to cook because it's so simple and of course one pot dinners mean less cleaning up!

How To Make Spanish Rice One Pot

• Add a splash of olive oil to a large saucepan and tip in the garlic, onion, chorizo and pepper and let them sizzle for a good five minutes over a medium heat.

• Add the rice and mix it into the chorizo and vegetables.

• Add 2 cups of water, the tinned tomatoes and smoked paprika.

• Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to low, put the lid on and cook for around 20-30 minutes until the rice is cooked through.

• Stir a few times to stop the rice sticking, if it's looking a little too dry add a splash more water.

COOKS NOTE! - If you want a really speedy version of this recipe - skip out the raw rice and add 2 packs of cooked Tilda microwave rice to the sizzled chorizo, vegetables and tomato sauce. I usually use the tomato flavoured rice when I do this.
