Spanish Style Chorizo Rice
with Peas
Our Spanish Style Chorizo Rice is just like a risotto, but with the flavours of Spain. This one's a simplified version of the traditional risotto or baked rice, baking in the oven instead to absorb all the stock and flavours.
Boxes and ingredients are packed in facilities that handles Peanut, Nuts, Sesame, Fish, Crustaceans, Milk, Egg, Mustard, Celery, Soya, Gluten and Sulphites. Due to the war in Ukraine, it has been necessary to substitute sunflower oil with rapeseed oil in some products without a label change. The FSA have advised that allergic reactions to rapeseed oil are rare.

Instructions
Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.
Halve, peel and chop the onion into small pieces.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large ovenproof pan on medium heat. TIP: If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal pan and transfer to an ovenproof dish before baking.
Once hot, add the chorizo and onion and fry until the chorizo starts to brown and the onion has softened, 4-5 mins. Stir frequently and adjust the heat if necessary.
Meanwhile, peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
Pour the boiled water for the stock (see pantry for amount) into a measuring jug.
Once the onion has softened, add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
Add the risotto rice to the pan. Stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent, 1-2 mins.
Pour in the boiled water and chicken stock paste Stir well to combine and bring back to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil).
Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.
Meanwhile, zest and cut the lemon into wedges.
When everything's ready, remove the rice from the oven and stir in the peas.
Squeeze in some lemon juice from a lemon wedge and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the butter (see pantry for amount) until melted.
Taste and add more salt, pepper and lemon juice if needed.
Spoon the rice onto your plates. Sprinkle over the lemon zest to finish.
Serve with a lemon wedge alongside.
Enjoy!
