Alright, let's go over the ingredients that we're going to need to make this dish. We're going to be using a chicken breast, but a chicken thigh will work very well with this as well, because it will have a darker color and match more with our sausage. So, we're not really going to trim too much of it. We're going to cut this chicken into little pieces, just like we will with our sausage. So, today we're using chorizo sausage, which is sort of a Latin American style sausage. It's very mild. It has salt and some vinegar and some cilantro in it, but none of them have a very, very strong flavor, so it will be very, very mild. We're also going to be, our fresh herb today is going to be oregano. We're going to be cutting that up and adding it to our dish. And also onion, we're, this is going to go in both our rice and our chicken and sausage ragu, and for our stocks. We're going to be making stock twice today. We're going to need one for the rice. So, we're going to make one stock first and then as soon as our rice is done, we're going to go back and repeat that step. Because that's going to go in with our ragu to give it the liquid and the flavor to cook down. So, we're going to need, just some celery stalks and some carrot. Now we're going to be using this carrot, again twice, for both stocks, and then we're going to be slicing some to put in with our ragu. We're going to need a tomato, a red pepper, the juice of a lemon, a vegetable base, some red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, cayenne, some canned tomatoes and their juice, some corn, some red beans or some kidney beans, whichever one you have, some rice, some sherry vinegar, some garlic, and some oil.
