Method
0 of 10 done- Preheat your oven to 200°C (180°C fan)/gas mark 6. Finely chop half an onion and mince garlic cloves.
- In an oven-safe pan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.
- Add diced chorizo and minced garlic to the pan. Fry for another 2 minutes until the chorizo releases its oils.
- Stir in risotto rice, stirring to coat the rice in the chorizo oil. Cook for 1 minute until the edges of the rice appear translucent.
- Add baby tomatoes, tomato puree, 0.5 teaspoons of mixed herbs, and mix well.
- Dissolve chicken stock in 300 ml of hot water. Pour it into the pan and stir to combine all ingredients.
- Season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 0.5 teaspoon of black pepper. Cover the pan with a lid or foil and place in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the risotto rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Remove from the oven, uncover, and stir in 20 grams of grated parmesan until melted and creamy.
- Serve hot!
