Chicken and Chorizo Paella
- Thread starter ginlin
- Start date
To be honest, I wouldn't have clue, as I haven't made a risotto, but I know it uses a different type of rice, and I would say that a risotto is wetter.
I have a packet of Spanish paella rice and one of Arborrio rice (not used), and both of them look like medium sized grains, so could probably be substituted for each other.
made this two or three times now and its delicious. I used the paella rice as doesn't go so mushy. Even the teenagers ate itx
Glad you all enjoyed it x

This will be a winner for me and my fiancé as we both love chorizo and risotto dishes!
We make bacon and mushroom risotto:
Spray a pan with fry light and get it hot.
Add 1diced onion, 2crushed garlic, chopped bacon and mushrooms.
Fry until onions and mushrooms start to soften and bacon is cooked, but turn it down if it's starting to colour.
Add more fry light and about 75g risotto rice per person.
Stir in half a pint of chicken stock at a time. Allowing it to be absorbed before adding more ( you will need about 2 pints per person depending if you like a wet or dry risotto also for a rich flavour I use 2 chicken stock cubes/ stock pots)
It will be done when the rice is fully puffed out and soft like rice pudding.
Flavour with salt and pepper.
This is free as far as I know but if you want to use syns add some white wine or Parmesan.
It's great with green beans and peas!
Enjoy!
