Instructions
Preheat oven to 220°C/200°C fan-forced. Roughly chop mild chorizo. Finely chop brown onion and garlic. Pick thyme leaves.
In a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Cook chorizo, stirring, until golden and crisp, 3-4 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add garlic and dried oregano (see ingredients) and cook until fragrant, 1 minute. Stir in arborio rice until well combined.
To the risotto, add the water and chicken stock pot. Stir well, then bring to the boil. Transfer risotto to a baking dish. Cover tightly with foil. 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.
Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes. Place on a lined oven tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and toss to coat. Roast until blistered, 15-20 minutes.
When risotto is done, stir through a splash of water to loosen, if needed. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, the butter and mixed leaves. Gently fold in roasted cherry tomatoes. Season to taste.
Divide baked chorizo and spinach risotto between bowls to serve.
