Description

A delicious risotto cooked in the oven for ease and flavoured with feta, chorizo and fresh spinach. Perfect for a fuss free family meal.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 tbsp oil
  • 350g cherry tomatoes
  • 80g chorizo, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 200g feta
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 300g risotto rice
  • 1 litre hot vegetable stock
  • 100g fresh spinach

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200c fan.
  2. Add the oil, cherry tomatoes, chorizo and garlic to a large oven dish and mix.
  3. Create some space in the centre and add the whole block of feta.
  4. Sprinkle a little Italian seasoning on top and bake in the oven for 15 minutes.
  5. Add the risotto rice and vegetable stock, stir well and cook for another 30 minutes until the rice is soft and the liquid has absorbed.
