I know, I know, it’s not autumn anymore – and the hot days here in Sao Paulo keep me pretty aware of that… but being a rice lover it was impossible for me to resist this recipe.
I don’t eat meat and you know it – and even when I did, back in the day, I would never eat pork. It’s nothing religious or anything, I just don’t like it.
I always have chorizo sausages in the fridge since Joao loves them – there’s a kind called calabresa that is used in barbecues and also as a pizza topping. I decided to put my prejudices aside for a moment and try this recipe with the calabresa sausage. And I’m glad I did – the rice was packed with flavor and most of it due to that ingredient.
There’s no rosemary in this recipe – I just thought it would make the dish look prettier. :)
This is my entry for the Weekend Herb Blogging, this time hosted by Vani, from the blog Batasari.
One last thing: the results for this DMBLGIT (in which one of the judges was yours truly) are up - congratulations to all the winners!
Autumn spicy rice
from Donna Hay magazine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 red onion, sliced
3 chorizo sausages, sliced
200g (7oz) butternut squash, peeled and chopped
½ teaspoon chilli flakes
2 cups long-grain rice
3 cups (24fl oz) chicken stock
2 zucchinis (courgettes), thinly sliced
Heat a deep frying pan over medium heat. Add the oil, onion, chorizo, squash and chilli and cook for 2-3 minutes or until the onions are soft. Add the rice and cook, stirring for 1 minute.
Add the stock and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook for 15 minutes or until the stock is absorbed and the rice is cooked. Stir through the zucchini and allow to stand for 2 minutes.
Serves 4

I love fried rice, especially a spicy one.It would be so good on a cold winter night. Thanks for the recipe, Patricia!Btw, your photo reminds me of pineapple. :)
Ahahaha! If you'd found a squash/zucchini flower that would be a great garnish too.
You had me at "chorizo rice." A tablespoon of chili flakes for mine! :)
This sounds delicious!! My sister-in-law doesn't like pork, either, although she does eat chicken.
Patricia, that looks rather delicious! I have the same feeling about meat, although I eat poultry.
Looks yummy Patricia!
Patricia, I just wanted to thank you for judging DMBLGIT. I think you did a great job (and the fact that I was one of the winners has nothing ;) to do with it). Looks like your rice dish came together well, though since I am vegetarian, I can't speak to the sausages, sorry. Thanks again!
This looks great. I love chorizo and I love fried rice. Too perfect.
Chorizo, butternut squash and zucchinis- that just has got to be great!
I wish it were still Autum. Your rice looks like a great meal.
Ironically, I have begun eating meat the last few months, and the first thing I ate was a sausage!
That does look perfect for a fall meal, Patricia. So good that I may not wait! :)
I love spicy fried rice, though I'm not a chorizo eater. I think spicy chicken sausage might be good in this recipe.
sausage can make anything taste divine!
Yummy! I love rice dishes like this.
Looks tasty!
A delicious, healthy recipe, any season!

Patricia - the use of sausage, butternut squash and rosemary sounds SO good!
Hey- who cares if it's not Autumn? This looks great, and I'd eat it any time of year.
Way to put your prejudices aside.

I love rice too and can just imagine how well it goes with the chorizo.

Cynthia, it was really good.
Great combination with the Squash and the Chorizo, Patricia.
Great post.
This DOES sound like a great combo. And it may be hot where you are, but here in Canada it's Winter (not autums, but close enough), and I love having great ideas for simple warming suppers. Thanks so much!
I love your contributions to this event, they are full of flavor, color and beauty, always.
It does sound very tasty. I haven't cooked with chorizo that much, but I do like it a lot.
