A risotto is a labour of love. Standing and stirring, until the rice is beautifully tender and glossy.

The ultimate in comfort food.

Smoky, Spanish flavours in this dish pack a punch! And, the addition of nutritional yeast gives the cheese factor.

ingredients

• 400g organic tinned tomatoes 
• 1ltr vegetable stock
• 1/2 brown diced onion 
• 2 finely diced garlic

• 1 cup Arborio rice 
• 1/4 tsp paprika 
• 100ml red wine
• 1 heaped tbsp nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp dried oregano 
• cracked black pepper

Add tomatoes to the stock in a saucepan. Gently heat.

In a deep based pan, sauté the onion and garlic in a little olive oil over a medium heat. Once translucent, add the chorizo and continue to cook for 5 or so minutes.

Add rice and cook for a minute. Continue to stir.

Add paprika and red wine. Cook until the wine has absorbed.
