Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Boil the kettle. • Cut chorizo into 1cm chunks. Finely chop onion. • Pick thyme leaves. • Cut chicken breast into 2cm chunks.
Little cooks: Under adult supervision, older kids can help grate the zest.
• Heat a large frying pan over medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook onion and chicken, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, 5-6 minutes. • Add thyme, garlic paste and garlic & herb seasoning and cook until fragrant, 1 minute.
• To the pan, add arborio rice and the boiling water (2 cups for 2 people / 4 cups for 4 people). Stir to combine, then transfer risotto mixture to a baking dish. • Cover tightly with foil and bake until liquid is absorbed, 24-28 minutes.
• While the risotto is baking, place peeled pumpkin pieces and chorizo on a lined oven tray. • Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat. Roast until tender, 20-25 minutes. • When the risotto has 5 minutes remaining, stir through baby spinach, then bake, covered with foil, until rice is ‘al dente’.
• When the risotto is done, stir through roast pumpkin and chorizo, the butter and 1/2 the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
TIP: Stir through a splash of water if the risotto looks dry.
• Divide thyme, chorizo and pumpkin risotto between bowls. • Top with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
