Chorizo Pea Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325F Cut and skinned chorizo in chunks and place in a food processor. Process until it resembles mince. Using an ovenproof pan, add the olive oil and onions and cook until softened. Turn up the heat and fry off the chorizo. Add the rice and peas, cook for 2 minutes, stirring, then add the boiling stock. Bring to the boil and place the lid on the pan or transfer to casserole dish. Bake for 16 minutes, without checking. Remove from oven and stir. It should be slightly wet. Add a little water, if required and stir. Add in the Parmesan and lemon zest and gently fold in. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Render chorizo in a saucepan that is large enough for risotto. Remove chorizo but leave fat in the pan. Add the olive oil and cook the onions until translucent.
• Add the rice. Stir for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and cook down. Start adding the stock, two ounces at a time, keeping the heat on low.
• Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until cooked, should be al dente. Finish with butter, cheese, peas, and chorizo.

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a saucepan and sizzle the chorizo for 1 min until some of the oil starts to come out. Add the onion and cook for 5 mins until soft, then add the risotto rice and cook for 1 min. Splash in the vinegar, then add the tomatoes and stir well.
• Gradually add the hot stock, a ladleful at a time - stir the rice until the stock is absorbed, then add the next ladleful. With the last ladleful of stock, add the peas and keep stirring until the rice is cooked. Turn off the heat and stir through the Parmesan and parsley, if using. Serve straight from the pan, with extra Parmesan, if you like.
