This recipe is made in a rice cooker. I have a Wolfgang Puck one, which I use for this recipe. Please check your machine and adjust the rice & liquid quantities to your rice cooker. The machine you are using will determine the amount of time this recipe will take.
You can make this in a slow cooker, but again you will need to adjust it for your own machine.
1. Soak & Rinse Rice. (You can skip this step if you're busy. I do all the time and it still comes out great.)
2. Combine all ingredients in rice cooker.
3. Cook til rice cooker says indicates your food is done.
4. Open & serve.
Serves 6 people with generous portions. This recipe can easily be adjusted by adding more or less spice. Substitute a smoked mild sausage for the chorizo for less heat.
