Chorizo Risotto Recipes

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, tip in the chorizo and fry until it is crisp and all the oil has been released. Remove a quarter of the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Tip the rice into the pan, stir to coat it in the oil and toast for a min or so, then pour in the vinegar. Once the vinegar has evaporated, add a ladleful of the stock, stir then, once absorbed, add a bit more. Continue doing this for about 20 mins until most of the stock has been absorbed and the rice has swollen but still has a slight bite.
• Tip in the peas, parmesan and the remaining stock. Give everything a good stir. Once the cheese has melted, season with black pepper, then divide between bowls, topping each portion with the remaining crisp chorizo and extra grated parmesan.

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.

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil, then keep warm over low heat.
• In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-low heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until it's lightly toasted and opaque, about 2 minutes.
• Add the wine and cook over medium-low heat until absorbed, about 5 minutes. Ladle 1 cup of the stock over the rice and simmer, stirring frequently, until absorbed. Continue to add the stock ½ cup at a time, stirring frequently, until the rice is creamy and tender but still slightly chewy in the center, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a medium skillet, cook the chorizo over medium-high heat until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir the chorizo, the ¼ cup of scallions and the chiles into the risotto until combined. Add the Parmesan and season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Divide the risotto among 4 plates and garnish with additional scallions and Parmesan if desired. 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:

• Fry the onion in a large pan until soft. In a separate frying pan, fry the peppers until brown around the edges and soft. Put peppers aside.
• In the pepper pan, fry the chicken pieces on a high heat until golden brown and cooked through. Place aside and keep warm
• Add rice to onion. Fry for 2 minutes. Add wine if using and stir till evaporated. Gradually add the stock, ladle by ladle.
• Once all liquid has been absorbed and rice is soft enough, add Chorizo, cooked chicken, peppers and the sweetcorn and frozen peas. Stir for a further 5 minutes or until heated through.
• Allow the chorizo juices to seep into the rice. Add the Parmesan and knob of butter. Stir through and season to taste. Serve immediately, with crusty bread and alioli.
