Spanish term or phrase: arroz calorro
The Spanish flamenco singer Raimundo Amador mentioned in an interview a rice-dish he invented himself and which he baptized "arroz calorro". Does anybody know how I could translate “calorro” into English?
Thanks!

context:
Interviewer: ¿Y cuál es su especialidad?, ¿el sashimi?
R.A. No, a tanto no llego. Pero hago croquetas, albóndigas y arroz calorro.

Interviewer: ¿Arroz ‘calorro’?
R.A. Yo lo llamo así. No tiene nada que ver con la paella. Sale más caldoso y se hace con lo primero que pilles por ahí.
