This flavorful dish combines the hearty textures of rice, succulent fish and spicy chorizo. The smoky notes of chorizo infuse with the mild fish while the rice absorbs all the delicious flavors. Drizzle with lemon and top with chopped cilantro, and you have a delicious one-pot weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large straight-sided skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Season the monkfish with salt and pepper, add to the pan and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side; remove to a plate. Reduce the heat to medium, add the chorizo and cook until crisp around the edges, about 3 minutes; remove to a separate plate.
  2. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil and the onion to the skillet and cook, stirring and scraping the pan with a wooden spoon, until the onion is slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Add all but 2 tablespoons cilantro and stir until softened, about 1 minute. Stir in the rice and cook until slightly toasted, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the chicken broth, olives and roasted peppers, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the chorizo. Arrange the fish on top, cover and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
  4. Divide the rice, fish and chorizo among plates. Drizzle with the lemon juice and top with the reserved cilantro.
