Chicken and Sausage Rice

November 10, 2015 By Mihaela K. Sebrek Leave a Comment

This is one of my favorite dishes. It really tasty, super easy, and simple to make, it is done under one hour and perfect for busy weekdays. At first, I wanted to call this recipe Chicken and Chorizo Rice, but I didn’t use Chorizo sausage in this one.
To be honest, here in Croatia it is really hard to find Chorizo sausage. Only one from all grocery stores has Chorizo but not in regular offer. You can find it only once in a few months when they have “Spanish Week”. Then you can buy all things Spanish. Actually I don’t mind this, because I have found perfect substitution and it is even tastier then Chorizo.

Chicken and Chorizo Risotto

A sausage that I used in this recipe is our domestic dry sausage called Baranja Sausage. Actually it has similar taste as Kulen Sausage (but it is made of different parts of pork meat). Maybe some of you have heard (or tasted) of Slavonian Kulen Sausage. If not, you don’t know what you’re missing :-). I highly recommend trying it, if you are a sausage lover as I am.
