Chicken, Chorizo and Roasted Pepper Risotto…

May 27th, 2010 by Will

Just made this…Out of this world. Fresh from Clare and Bill’s kitchen!

Get this down you and you’re never going to blow up on your 3hr spin!

Ingredients

Chorizo sausage, chunks
1 chicken breast, cut into small pieces
Risotto rice – Triathlete size = 1/3rd Cup
1 large glass of white wine
Olive oil
Parmesan cheese, finely grated
Salt and pepper
2 stalks of fresh rosemary
Peppers, Red Yellow and Green
Balsamic vinegar
Good quality organic chicken stock
One red onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, sliced
Butter

Here we go…

Pre heat oven to 180 C. Cut up the peppers into chunks, Crack fresh salt and black pepper over the top, and pour over a generous serving of olive oil. Add a table spoon of balsamic vinegar, and lob in a stalk of Rosemary. Cook for twenty minutes.

In the mean time, you can start on the risotto. Put plenty of olive oil in a sautee pan on the hob, and chuck in your sliced garlic, chopped red onion, and the Rosemary (not the stalks!) Simmer on the hob for five minutes. Add your sliced chorizo and chicken, and continue to cook for five minutes till cooked.

Once the chicken is looking semi cooked and the chorizo is leaving some of the flavour in the pan pour in the rice. frying at a medium temperature for a couple of minutes and then add the wine, keeping the temperature high enough for the wine to simmer. The heat will burn off the alcohol leaving the flavour.

Now start to adding ladle by ladle the chicken stock allowing the rice to soak it up before adding another! BTW, you need shed loads of stock! I needed a full time stock maker through out the whole prep time! It will probably take about 30mins to cook the rice.

The Peppers are by now done so take them out and keep them aside.

When your rice is cooked, add a knob of butter, and pour in the peppers adding another splash of balsamic vinegar. Now you could ruin it at this point…add the grated parmesan! Or essence of vomit as I like to call it! Stir and cover for a few mins.

IS FINISHED!
