Baked Double 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 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

Get prepped
1

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

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

Start the risotto
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 (cook in batches if your pan is getting crowded). 
• Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes.
• Add garlic paste and Italian herbs and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• Stir in risotto-style rice until well combined.

Bake the risotto
3

• 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.

Roast the cherry tomatoes
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.

Little cooks: Help assemble the snacking tomatoes on the lined oven tray!

Finish the risotto
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.

Finish & serve
6

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