1
  • Remove the root and the dark green leafy part from the leek. Halve lengthways and thinly slice.
  • Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press).
  • Roughly chop the parsley (stalks and all).
2
  • Boil 1L water (double for 4p) in a pot for the stock.
  • Add vegetable stock to the water, bring to the boil and stir to dissolve. Simmer on low heat. 
  • Place a (separate) large pot over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
  • Once oil is hot, add chorizo and cook until golden, 3-4 mins.
  • Add the leek and fry until softened, another 5 mins. Add the garlic and cook for 1 min more.
3
  • Add the risotto rice to the pot with the chorizo.
  • Cook over medium-low heat until the edges of the rice are translucent, stirring occasionally, 2-3 mins. 
  • Add the vinegar, stir and allow to evaporate, about 30 secs.
4
  • Stir in a ladle of your stock.
  • When the stock has been absorbed by the rice, stir in another ladle.
  • Keep the pot on medium heat and continue stirring in stock, letting it absorb each time.
  • The cooking time should take 25-30 mins and your risotto is done when the rice is al dente—cooked through but with a tiny bit of firmness left in the middle.
5
  • When the risotto has 3 mins left, stir the sugar snap peas through.
  • Cook for the remaining time until just tender.
6
  • Once cooked, remove the risotto from the heat.
  • Stir in some butter (if you have any), half the parsley and three-quarters of the Italian style cheese.
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Serve your risotto in deep bowls with the remaining cheese and parsley scattered on top.
