What happens when you cook chorizo with fragrant herbs, garlic and onion, then use this concoction as the base for a risotto? We could tell you, but the best way to find out is to try it yourself! While you're at it, throw in some roasted cherry tomatoes for a sweet burst of flavour that also works to cut through the lovely richness of the dish.

Cooking Steps

1

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop mild chorizo. • Thinly slice brown onion.

2

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo, stirring, until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes. • Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. • Add garlic paste and Italian herbs and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in arborio rice until well combined.

3

• To the pan, add the water and chicken stock pot. Stir well, then bring to the boil. • Transfer risotto to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. • Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.

4

• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until blistered, 15-20 minutes.

5

• When the risotto is ready, stir through a splash of water to loosen, if needed. • Stir in shaved Parmesan cheese, the butter and baby spinach leaves. • Gently fold in roasted tomatoes. Season to taste.

6

• Divide baked chorizo and spinach risotto between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
