Chorizos and Chiles

Saffron and dos tazas rice

enough agua in the pot

to cover all the ingredients

una lata de gandules verde

and one tablespoon of sal,

an onion and some garlic,

peal and slice the chorizos.

Bring to a boil, then let simmer

for an hour or so, until the rice

is almost dry. I may not know

how to speak Spanish, or Espanol

but I know good eating and this is it.

Call it what you like

its really Puerto Rican gumbo

I’m not even hungry

but I would eat a bowl full now.
