Cooking Steps
1
- Remove the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways and thinly slice.
- Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
- Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
- Boil 1L water (double for 4p) in a pot for the stock.
- Add vegetable stock to the water, bring to the boil and stir to dissolve. Simmer on low heat.
- Place a (separate) large pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
- Once oil is hot, add chorizo and cook until golden, 3-4 mins.
- Add the leek and fry until softened, another 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
3
- Add the risotto rice to the pot with the chorizo.
- Cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the rice are translucent, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins.
- Add the vinegar, stir and allow to evaporate, about 30 secs.
4
- Stir in a ladle of your stock.
- When the stock has been absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle.
- Keep the pot on medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time.
- The cooking time should take 25-30 mins and your risotto is done when the rice is al dente—cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.
5
- When the risotto has 3 mins left, stir the sugar snap peas through.
- Cook for the remaining time until just tender.
6
- Once cooked, remove the risotto from the heat.
- Stir in some butter (if you have any), half the parsley and three-quarters of the Italian style cheese.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve your risotto in deep bowls with the remaining cheese and parsley scattered on top.
