My Ukrainian family has been making this dish for decades and it never gets old. It's one of those warming, comfort food recipes that you just keep coming back to, especially during the cold winter months! The last of my "Grow Your Own" tomatoes and sweet peppers have been harvested, and so today's recipe for Spanish Chorizo and Sweet Pepper Rice, is a nod to both late Summer, as well as to early Autumn and those very handy "one-pan dinners for two in front of the telly" kind of dishes that are so. Add the water, bay leaf, thyme, Tabasco, salt and pepper. Stir well and bring to a boil.
