Creamy Risotto with Chorizo and Fresh Basil

Ingredients

• 200 grams chorizo
• 1 onion
• 2 cloves of garlic
• 300 grams risotto rice
• 1 liter chicken broth
• 200 ml white wine
• 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
•  a handful of fresh basil leaves
•  olive oil
•  salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. 1 Cut the chorizo into pieces and fry them in a large pan with a little olive oil until crispy.
2. 2 Finely chop the onion and garlic and add them to the pan. Cook until translucent.
3. 3 Add the risotto rice and stir well until all grains are coated with a layer of oil. This adds extra flavor and prevents the rice from sticking.
4. 4 Add the white wine and let the alcohol evaporate.
5. 5 Gradually add the broth, while constantly stirring. This is crucial for achieving a creamy risotto. Only add a new ladle of broth when the previous one has been fully absorbed by the rice.
6. 6 Once all the broth has been added and the rice is cooked, stir in the Parmesan cheese and season the risotto with salt and pepper.
7. 7 Serve the risotto with the crispy chorizo and fresh basil. It will be absolutely delicious!
