Ingredients for creamy chorizo risotto

This creamy risotto recipe with chorizo serves four people. To make it, you'll need the following ingredients:

• 1 red onion,
• 1 yellow pepper,
• 30 g olive oil,
• 330 g rice (Arborio),
• 200 g chorizo, sliced into rounds,

• 2 Mediterranean vegetable stock cubes.

Depending on the recipe, you can also use a stretched-curd cheese instead of crème fraîche.

Steps for preparing creamy chorizo risotto

To make this creamy chorizo risotto recipe, first peel and chop the onion into pieces. Cut the pepper in half, remove the seeds, then dice it finely. Rinse the rice and place it in a bowl. In a frying pan, heat the olive oil and sauté the pepper and onion for around five minutes. Then add the rice and stir it for two to three minutes. Make sure it becomes translucent before stopping.

Add the Mediterranean vegetable stock and adjust the heat to medium. Then pour in a ladleful of hot water and cook until absorbed. You can repeat this until the rice is fully cooked. This can take around 20 minutes. You can also pour the water and stock directly onto the rice and let it cook. Stir from time to time to stop the rice sticking to the pan.

Once the risotto is cooked, add the chorizo cut into thin slices and mix. Finally, stir the crème fraîche or cheese into the mixture. Cook for two to three minutes, stirring properly. Serve piping hot.
