Instructions
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. • Cut mild chorizo into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice courgette into half-moons. • In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo and soffritto mix, stirring, until starting to brown, 3-4 minutes. • Meanwhile, boil the kettle.
TIP: If you want to hide the courgette in the risotto for your child, grate it instead!
• Add risotto-style rice, garlic paste, tomato paste and Nan's special seasoning to the pan with chorizo and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. • Remove from heat, then add courgette 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, then 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.
• When the risotto is done, stir through the butter, baby leaves and half the grated Parmesan cheese. Season to taste.
TIP: If the risotto looks dry, stir through a splash of water. TIP: If preferred, dish up your child's portion before stirring through the baby leaves!
• Divide chorizo and veggie risotto between kid's and adult's portion. • Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
