Cooking Steps
• Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced.
• Cut mild chorizo into 1cm chunks. Thinly slice courgette and carrot into half-moons. Thinly slice brown onion. Finely chop garlic.
• In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo, onion and carrot, 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, 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 Nan's chorizo and veggie risotto between bowls.
• Sprinkle with remaining Parmesan cheese to serve. Enjoy!
