Seafood And Chorizo Risotto Recipes

SEAFOOD, SAFFRON AND CHORIZO RISOTTO RECIPE

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan and sweat the onion for 10 minutes, then add the garlic and chorizo and continue to cook for another 5 minutes. Add the rice and saffron and stir well so that each grain is coated with the butter. Gradually add a ladleful of hot stock at a time and stir the risotto continuously until the liquid has been absorbed and all of the stock has been used up.
• The trick to a great risotto is steam and stirring - it should take about 20 minutes to cook from start to finish. When ready, stir in the seafood and make sure it's thoroughly heated through, which will take a few minutes more. Finally, stir in the chopped parsley and check the seasoning. Divide the mixture among four warmed bowls, garnish with salad leaves and serve.

SHRIMP AND CHORIZO RISOTTO

Steps:

• 1. Put saffron in small dish, pour a half cup chicken stock over it and set aside.
• 2. Heat one tablespoon oil in large skillet to very hot, add shrimp and stir. Sprinkle with paprika and stir-fry just until shrimp begin to brown but are not fully cooked, 2-4 minutes. Season with cayenne pepper and remove from heat.
• 3. Add butter and remaining oil and reheat. Add onion and garlic and saute until soft, working up anything stuck to the skillet, 5-6 minutes. Add the chorizo, saute a couple of minutes more, then stir in cumin and rice. Saute, stirring, until the rice turns opaque, 5-6 minutes. Stir in the saffron mixture and wine. Cook, stirring with wooden spoon over medium heat, until most of the liquid has evaporated.
• 4. Add about 1/2 cup of the hot broth to the rice, stirring constantly until the broth is absorbed. Continue adding the remaining broth 1/2 cup at a time, waiting until each addition is absorbed before adding more. Continue until the rice is tender, about 35 to 45 minutes. The rice should have a creamy consistency. Add the reserved shrimp, parmesan, parsley and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve at once.

EASIEST EVER SEAFOOD RISOTTO

Steps:

• Tip the onion and fennel into a bowl, toss in the oil and microwave on High for 5 mins. Stir in the rice, pour over the stock, cover the bowl with a plate and continue to microwave on High for 10-15 mins more or until the rice is just on the verge of being cooked.
• Throw in the seafood and peas, cover and continue to microwave on High for 2-3 mins until the rice is cooked. Stir in the parmesan and lemon juice and leave to stand for a moment while you mix the parsley with the lemon zest. Spoon the risotto into bowls and scatter over parsley and lemon zest.

CHORIZO & PEA RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large frying pan, tip in the chorizo and fry until it is crisp and all the oil has been released. Remove a quarter of the chorizo with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Tip the rice into the pan, stir to coat it in the oil and toast for a min or so, then pour in the vinegar. Once the vinegar has evaporated, add a ladleful of the stock, stir then, once absorbed, add a bit more. Continue doing this for about 20 mins until most of the stock has been absorbed and the rice has swollen but still has a slight bite.
• Tip in the peas, parmesan and the remaining stock. Give everything a good stir. Once the cheese has melted, season with black pepper, then divide between bowls, topping each portion with the remaining crisp chorizo and extra grated parmesan.
