This one pan spicy chorizo orzo dish is part of the April One Pot Series I’m doing on TikTok. It’s a perfect mix of spicy, creamy, and salty. It comes together quickly and easily. Feel free to add extra red pepper flakes if you prefer more spice. You can easily modify by switching up the broccoli for another vegetable as well. I hope you enjoy and feel free to leave me a comment if you try it!
One Pan Spicy Chorizo Orzo
This orzo is spicy, creamy, and extremely delicious. It has chorizo and broccoli for a complete meal in one pan!
Equipment
- Sauté Pan This Made In sauté pan is my favorite for all of my orzo recipes
- Chef Knife I love my Made In Chef Knife!
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 6 oz Spanish Chorizo remove casing; roughly chop; I used fully cooked chorizo
- 1-2 Shallot finely diced; use 1 if large or 2 if small
- 4 cloves Garlic minced
- 1 tsp Red Pepper Flakes use more or less based on spice preference
- 2 cup Orzo dry
- 1 can Tomato Paste
- 4 cups Chicken Broth
- 8 oz Broccoli roughly chopped
- Black Pepper to taste
- 1 cup Half and Half can use more or less based on how creamy you want the orzo
- Parmesan Cheese freshly grated to serve
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large high rimmed sauté pan or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add chorizo and cook for 3 minutes, stirring often until chorizo gets browned and crispy. Remove to a plate.
- In the same pan, add the shallot to the leftover oil. Cook for 1 minute stirring often. Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook another minute stirring often. Add in orzo and toast for another minute.
- Stir in tomato paste until well combined. Cook for 3 minutes until the tomato paste starts to darken. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add broccoli and season with black pepper. Bring to a boil then turn the heat to medium low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the orzo is cooked and most of the liquid is absorbed.
- Turn off the heat. Pour in half and half and mix well until fully combined. Add back the chorizo and stir into the orzo. Serve immediately with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
