Chorizo and Shrimp Paella
Bomba rice is a short-grain, starchy type, and its ideal texture is tender but chewy in the center, like al dente pasta. Try not to overcook. Use the shrimp shells and chorizo ends to make the Back-Burner Stock.

Queso Fundido
At Minero, Chef Sean Brock uses Chihuahua cheese for this, which is a Mexican melting type, but it can be hard to find unless you have a Latin foods store nearby. If that’s the case, use Monterey Jack. Not the same, but still crazy good!

Brussels Sprout Leaves with Chorizo and Toasted Almonds
A Spanish twist on brussels and bacon done in the style of a stir-fry. Wait till the last minute to pull this dish together, but have everything prepped and ready to go ahead of time.

Freekeh Paella with Clams and Almond Aioli
Fair to say we're pretty much obsessed with this nut-based (egg-free!) aioli. Try it with walnuts, too.

Grilled Clams with Chorizo
We're big fans of dipping the grilled bread in the garlic butter sauce. We won't judge you if it dribbles down your chin a bit.

Chorizo, Tomato, and Chickpeas With Yogurt
This chorizo recipe is hearty and substantial on its own, but if you want to put an egg on it, go right ahead.

Chorizo–Sweet Potato Breakfast Tacos
Look for Mexican chorizo in your butcher’s case next to the other fresh sausages, and don’t be afraid to include those delicious, crispy bits from the pan.
