TOMATO STOCK BASE
Boil the kettle. Dilute the Italian seasoning with 400ml of boiling water. Stir in the cooked chopped tomato and set aside.
LOADED RISOTTO
Place a pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry ½ the chopped chorizo and the diced onion until golden, 4-5 minutes (shifting occasionally). Add the tomato paste and the risotto rice. Fry until fragrant, 1-2 minutes (shifting constantly). Reduce the heat to medium, add a ladleful of the tomato stock and allow it to be absorbed by gently simmering (stirring often). Only add the next ladle of tomato stock when the previous one is fully absorbed. Repeat this process until the rice is cooked al dente, 20-25 minutes.
GOLDEN SEEDS
Place the pumpkin seeds in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and set aside.
TOMATOES & CHORIZO
Return the pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the tomato wedges until charred, 3-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). In the final 1-2 minutes, add the remaining chopped chorizo. Season, cover, and set aside.
FINISHING TOUCHES
When the risotto is done, remove from the heat and stir through the crème fraîche, ½ the chopped parsley, and seasoning. Loosen with a splash of warm water if too thick.
DIG IN
Dish up the tomato risotto. Top with the charred tomatoes & chorizo. Crumble over the drained feta and sprinkle over the toasted pumpkin seeds. Garnish with the remaining chopped parsley and finish off with a crack of black pepper. Well done, Chef!
