2	tb	Lard or safflower oil
6	oz	3 to 4 inch chorizo, skinned

		Boiled Rice with Chorizo

Heat the lard in a large frying pan, crumble the chorizo into it, and cook over low heat, stirring from time to time, until it is well heated through and beginning to fry. Remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Remove all but 3 tablespoons of the fat or add fat to make that amount. Add the onion and fry for 1 minute or until transparent but not browned. Add the chopped tomatoes and cook, stirring from time to time, over fairly high heat until reduced - about 3 minutes. Stir in the chorizo and rice, add salt to taste, and keep turning over carefully until the rice is well heated through and all the flavors are combined. Serve as a dry soup - alone.
