Chorizo risotto

Step 1

In a pan, fry the chorizo (no oil) over a medium-low heat until the oils begin to release. Cook for 5-6 mins, stirring until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 2

Add the onion, season well and cook for 8-10 mins until soft but not coloured, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic, cooking for 1 min, before stirring in the rice and tomato purée, and cooking and toasting the rice for a further 2 mins.

Step 3

Increase the heat slightly and pour in the wine. Bubble for 1-2 mins or until mostly evaporated. Spoon in a ladleful of the stock and stir well until absorbed. Repeat for 25-30 mins or until the risotto is creamy but still with a little bite.

Step 4

Stir in the chorizo and peas, as well as half the parmesan and parsley. Turn off the heat and allow to sit for 5 mins, covered. Serve between bowls sprinkled with the remaining parmesan and parsley.
