Risotto With Tomato And Chorizo Recipes

CHORIZO & TOMATO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Place chicken broth and tomato paste into a medium saucepan. Stir and warm over medium heat. Once warmed, reduce heat to low and keep warm on stovetop. Remove frozen peas from freezer and set aside.
• Place olive oil into a separate large saute pan with about 2" high sides with heat set to medium. When oil is warm, add chorizo and saute for 2-3 minutes until it releases its reddish oil and looks slightly darker.
• Add onion and continue sauteing until softened, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds.
• Add in rice and stir to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
• Add white wine and cook until almost evaporated, about 1-2 minutes.
• Using a ladle, begin adding broth one full ladle at a time. Cook uncovered until almost all broth is absorbed before adding the next ladleful. Stir occasionally. Continue adding broth/tomato mixture in this manner until rice is creamy and has softened, but still has a "bite" to it (al dente). This part should take 15-20 minutes. You may or not not use all of the broth. If you need a little extra liquid at the end, you may use a little warm water.
• Add peas and stir gently. Add grated Parmesan and fold until just melted. Add butter and black pepper and stir gently. Serve immediately and garnish with additional sliced chorizo and sliced grape or cherry tomatoes, if desired.

TOMATO, RED WINE & CHORIZO RISOTTO

Steps:

• Peel and finely chop the shallots and garlic, finely chop the chorizo, then pick and finely chop the parsley leaves, finely chopping the stalks.
• Drizzle 2 tablespoons of olive oil into a wide, shallow pan. Add the parsley stalks, shallot, garlic and chorizo to the heated oil and cook over a medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until the shallot is softened and the chorizo is beginning to crisp.
• In another pan, heat the stock with the tinned tomatoes. Add the rice to the shallot mixture and stir to coat the grains. Cook over a high heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the grains have cracked and are slightly translucent at the tips, then pour in the red wine.
• Stir well and cook until almost all the wine has evaporated. Add the hot stock and tomato mixture, ladle by ladle, stirring well with each addition, and only adding more when the previous ladle is almost fully absorbed. You may not need all of the mixture, or you may need to top it up with a little water.
• The rice should be tender but with a little bite in the middle. When it's cooked, add one last ladle of liquid.
• Finely grate the Parmesan, then add to the pan with some seasoning. Stir well, take off the heat and cover. Leave for 5 minutes or so before stirring again, tasting and adjusting the seasoning, if necessary.
• Serve topped with extra grated Parmesan and the chopped parsley leaves.

TOMATO & CHORIZO RISOTTO

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.
