Prawn and Chorizo Risotto

Posted 2015-08-09 by DJ's Kitchen ⇒ follow

I don't get the hysteria around risotto, so many rules. I make mine simply and easily and everyone who eats it says it's yum even though I break all the rules!

I use the stock out of the fridge, I leave it to boil and don't continually stir it. The rice is still al dente and not gluggy.

So there's no need to be scared of risotto.

Enjoy!

Preparation Time: 8 minutes
Cooking Time: 12 -20 minutes
Makes: 2 servings

Ingredients
1 cup aborio rice
1 chorizo sausage
120 gm prawns (5 - 8 per serve depending on size)
1 small brown onion
3 cloves garlic
1 sprig fresh thyme
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp fennel seeds
Salt and peppercorns
Olive oil
1/2 bunch brocolinni
100 ml white wine
330 - 350 ml chicken stock
50 ml cream
2 tbps parmesan cheese

Method

Finely dice the onion, dice the chorizo into approx. 1 cm dice and slice the brocolinni into 5mm pieces.

Place the garlic, paprika, fennel seeds, salt and peppercorns into a mortar and pestle and grind to a paste, add a little olive oil to soften the paste.

In a saucepan heat a little more oil and add the onion, chorizo and rice and stir whilst toasting the rice for a few minutes stirring consistently. Add the paste, picked thyme and continue to cook.

Add the wine and wait until it is almost all absorbed. Continue with this method with the stock adding it in 3 or four batches reserving a 30 mls, stirring often and waiting for the liquid to be absorbed before each next addition.

Add the cream, prawns and the brocolinni stems and cook for a further 3 - 4 minutes.

Lastly add the parmesan cheese and correct seasoning. If the risotto is a little dry add the remaining stock, if wet then just leave to sit for a few minutes off the heat.

Spoon into a serving plate and drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with shredded parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
