Method

  • step 1

    Heat the oil in a medium-sized pan, then add the bacon, shallots, garlic and chorizo. Gently cook for 8 mins, stirring occasionally so everything cooks evenly.

  • step 2

    Stir in the rice, coating all over with the cooking juices in the pan. Add just enough stock to cover the rice, bring to a simmer and gently cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the stock a ladleful at a time, and gently cook. Just before the final ladleful of stock, add the broad beans and stir through, cooking for 3-4 mins until tender. Remove the chorizo, slice thinly, return to the pan and mix through before serving.

RECIPE TIPS
CHORIZO

This Spanish sausage comes in both fresh and dried varieties. The fresh are perfect for cooking, and the dried, which don’t necessarily need cooking, can be eaten as tapas. Chorizo gets its distinctive flavour from smoked paprika and can be either dulce (sweet) or picante (spicy).

Great recipe! I hate to disagree but I think the bacon gives it a milder taste! I cut the chorizo into bite size pieces before cooking, also use rather less than suggested here (about 250gm).

Very surprised no-one suggested flat leaf parsley, which tied the flavours together nicely, we found. Agree that the bacon seems irrelevant

Made again tonight! Fabulous again! You should try serving with grated Parmesan cheese! Make sure you use stock and white wine.

Made this tonight for the first time. Gorgeous ! Fairly new to risotto meals but tried a few on this BBC Good Food site. Always enjoyed the results but Hubby says this is the best one yet!!! Followed recipe but substituted some white wine as part of the total fluids. Added home grown broad beans and…
