Chorizo Rice With Tomatoes

Chorizo. One of the greatest gastronomic contributions of Spain to the culinary world and one of my most preferred ingredients in cooking. Whatever I create in cooking around this Iberian pork sausage comes out bursting with flavor with a strong hint of smoked paprika, another Spanish flavor I absolutely love.  One bite encompasses you with the real essence of Spain. And guess what? It's also one of my favorite cuisines!
  

Here is a product of having leftover cooked rice.  Not wanting to go for my usual Asian or Italian twists, I opted this time for something simple, quick, easy and delightfully Spanish. The Philippine cuisine has a strong culinary influence from Spain, having been occupied for 300 years. With that long period, the invading kitchen merged with the local one and out came a multitude of wonderful blends of flavors. Chorizo and paprika are popularly used in the Philippines for this reason.
