Cooking Steps

• Preheat oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle.
• Cut lemon into wedges.
• Thinly slice leek.
• Pick thyme leaves.
• Roughly chop mild chorizo.

• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat.
• Cook chorizo and leek, tossing, until golden, 4-5 minutes (the chorizo will finish cooking in the oven!).
• Reduce heat to medium, add garlic & herb seasoning and tomato paste. Cook, tossing until fragrant, 1 minute. Remove from heat.

• In a baking dish, add chicken mixture, risoni, thyme, the boiling water (see ingredients) and stock concentrate. Stir to combine. Cover with foil.
• Bake until risoni is tender and chorizo is cooked through, 20-25 minutes.
• Remove risoni from oven, then stir through the butter and a squeeze of lemon juice. If needed, add a splash of water to loosen the risoni.
• Season to taste with salt and pepper.

• Divide baked Italian chorizo and leek risoni between bowls.
• Top with rocket leaves and Parmesan cheese.
• Garnish with pine nuts and serve with remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
