Baked Chorizo & Spinach Risotto

with Cherry Tomatoes & Parmesan

What happens when you cook chorizo with fragrant herbs, garlic and onion, then use this concoction as the base for 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.

Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!

• 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.

• Add the water and chicken stock pot to the pan. 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.

• Meanwhile, halve cherry 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.
