Dinner that is yummy and good for you

Tonight's dinner was so delicious and made will all organic products.  All of the ingredients came from Whole Foods and have no preservatives, horomones, antibiotics, etc...  Try it and let me know how you like it.


1/2 Onion, chopped
1 Carrot, chopped
2 Cloves Garlic, chopped
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
3 TBSP Butter
Sea Salt
Taco Spices
2 Links Chorizo
1 1/2 Cups Basmati Rice
4 Cups Chicken Stock ( I use low sodium)




Heat EVOO and 1 tsp of butter over medium heat.  Add onion and carrot and cook until onion is transluscent.  Add garlic (if mixture is sticking, add a small amount of stock).  Peel the casings off of the chorizo, add to the pan and break up with a spoon or fork.  Cook mixture until sausage is cooked through.  Spread mixture to the sides of the pan.  Add rice to the center and stir frequently until rice starts to slightly brown.  Sprinkle with spices (you can add more after rice is done).  Add 3 cups of stock,remainder of butter, bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat and let it simmer for 12-15 minutes (stir occasionally, add more stock if needed).  Taste and add spice and sea salt to taste.

I served with chirizo refried beans (organic, of course) with cheddar cheese melted over the top.

RJ and Leah had happy tummies tonight. :-)  Enjoy.
