with Cherry Tomatoes & Parmesan
What happens when you cook chorizo with fragrant herbs, garlic and onion, then use this concoction as the base for risotto? We could tell you, but the best way to find out is to try it yourself! While you're at it, throw in some roasted cherry tomatoes for a sweet burst of flavour that also works to cut through the lovely richness of the dish.

• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Roughly chop mild chorizo. • Thinly slice brown onion. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks. Little cooks: Don your goggles and have a go at peeling off the onion's outer layer!
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over high heat. Cook chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. • Cook chorizo, stirring, until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes. • Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. • Add garlic paste and Italian herbs and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. • Stir in arborio rice until well combined.
• Add the water and chicken stock pot to the pan. Stir well, then bring to the boil. • Transfer risotto to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. • Bake until liquid is absorbed and rice is 'al dente', 24-28 minutes. TIP: 'Al dente' rice is cooked through but still slightly firm in the centre.
• Meanwhile, halve snacking tomatoes. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. • Roast until blistered, 15-20 minutes
• When the risotto is ready, stir through a splash of water to loosen, if needed. • Stir in shaved Parmesan cheese, cooked chicken, the butter and baby spinach leaves. • Gently fold in roasted tomatoes. Season to taste.
• Divide baked chorizo, chicken and spinach risotto between bowls to serve. Enjoy!
