Gubbeen Farmhouse Products

GUBBEEN SMOKEHOUSE
Most of you will be familiar with the Gubbeen cheeses but their reputation for producing tempting products from the smokehouse is growing rapidly.
Just last week, at the Midleton Farmers Market, I bought a piece of their lightly smoked Chorizo. This product has really brightened up a Spanish Rice with Chorizo and Sage recipe we’ve been using for years, courtesy of the Reader’s Digest 30 Minute Cookbook.
We had been using the normal chorizo sausage and sometimes locally produced spicy sausages. But this Gubbeen product is the bees knees and enhances this hearty richly flavoured Spanish-​style dish where all the ingredients (red onion, garlic, red pepper, long-​grain rice, turmeric, canned tomatoes, chorizo, sage and frozen peas) are all cooked in the one pan.
The Gubbeen chorizo re-​vitalised this one for us and sent it up the ranks of our favourites.
