Red Wine Risotto with Chorizo
Recipe courtesy Michelle Bernstein
Show:  Melting Pot
Episode:  Nuevo Latino (Michelle/Alex) - Wine Harvest
1 cup minced sweet chorizo
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small white onion, minced
2 cups Carnaroli rice or Arborio, if not available
2 cups red wine
4 cups chicken stock, warmed
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups grated Mancego, plus more, for garnish
1 cup peas, frozen, fresh, or canned
Chopped parsley, as a garnish

Render chorizo in a saucepan that is large enough for risotto. Remove chorizo but leave fat in the pan. Add the olive oil and cook the onions until translucent.

Add the rice. Stir for about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the wine and cook down. Start adding the stock, two ounces at a time, keeping the heat on low.

Stir constantly with a wooden spoon until cooked, should be al dente. Finish with butter, cheese, peas, and chorizo.
