Think of this as a pared-down paella. It features two classic Spanish ingredients: chorizo and smoked paprika. To bump up the tomato flavor, we brown tomato paste along with the chorizo, garlic and paprika, then stir in rice and green beans so they absorb the bold seasonings and meaty goodness. If you like, brighten the dish with a garnish of chopped parsley, roasted red pepper strips or a squeeze of lemon—or all three. Be sure to use dry-cured Spanish chorizo, not Mexican chorizo, which is a fresh sausage.

Not my fav
Not very flavorful, easy but needed hot sauce.
