Fiesta Golden Rice

Toss with the vinaigrette while rice is warm, so it absorbs the flavors.

Ingredients

3 1/3 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 teaspoon crumbled saffron
Salt
1 1/2 cups long-grain rice
1 1/2 cups red-wine vinaigrette
1 each red and green bell pepper, diced (1/4 inch)
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) red onion
1/2 cup diced (1/4 inch) dry chorizo sausage
1/3 cup dried currants
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
Salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    1. Bring the water, olive oil, saffron and salt to a boil in a pot. Stir in the rice and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Remove from heat, fluff rice with a fork and transfer to a bowl. Toss with the vinaigrette, then let cool.

    Step 2

    2. Toss with the remaining ingredients. Adjust seasonings. Add additional vinaigrette if necessary. Serve at room temperature.
