  1. GO, GO RISOTTO!

    Boil the kettle. Set aside 400ml of boiling water. Place a pot for the risotto over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, add the diced onion and fry for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent, shifting occasionally. Add the rub and fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, shifting constantly. Pour in the cooked chopped tomato and leave to simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly reduced. Stir through the rice for 30-60 seconds. Add a ladleful of the reserved boiling water and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering, stirring regularly. Only add the next ladle of boiling water when the previous one has been fully absorbed. Repeat this process for 20-25 minutes until the rice is cooked al dente. Season to taste.

  2. CRISPY CHORIZO

    Place a pan over a medium heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the halved chorizo for 2-4 minutes until crispy, shifting halfway. On completion, drain on paper towel.

  3. FINISHING TOUCHES!

    When the risotto is done, stir through the crispy chorizo, ½ the crème fraîche, ½ the picked oregano, ½ the rinsed spinach, and a generous knob of butter (optional). Add a sweetener of choice and some seasoning.

  4. RISOTT-OH YEAH!

    Make a bed of the remaining spinach. Top with the creamy risotto and sprinkle over the grated cheese. Dollop over the remaining crème fraîche and garnish with the remaining oregano. Well done, Chef!
