What happens when you cook chorizo with fragrant herbs, garlic and onion, then use this concoction as the base for a risoni bake? 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. *Unfortunately, some of this week's ingredients were in short supply.

Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Roughly chop mild chorizo. • Thinly slice brown onion. Halve snacking tomatoes.
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 and onion, stirring, until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes. • Add snacking tomatoes and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes.
• Add garlic paste and Italian herbs and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in risoni until well combined.
• Add the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people) and chicken stock pot to the pan. Stir well, then bring to the boil. • Transfer risoni mixture 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.
• When the risoni bake is ready, stir through a splash of water to loosen, if needed. • Stir in the butter and baby spinach leaves.
• Sprinkle over shaved Parmesan cheese to serve. • Divide chorizo and spinach risoni bake between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
