SHH "Paella" Fried Rice
From Champaign, OH
<p>Remember you absolutely cannot make delicious rice using freshly cooked rice.Cook the rice a day or 2 ahead of making this recipe. Use a long grain rice and cook according to directions on the package. You will need 4 cups of cold cooked rice. You could also purchase the cooked rice from a chinese restaurant.</p> <p>The chorizo sausage is hard to find. Oakview Farms carry ground chorizo in a 1 lb. pkg. I the whole pkg. I have also substituted the chorizo for ground sweet Italian Sausage. However you do not get the same flavor or color that the spices of the chorizo gives to the dish.</p>Source: Gourmet Magazine March 2000 (Entered by Charlene Stapleton)
