1. Pour the chicken stock into a large pan and keep on the heat at a gentle simmer. Melt half the butter in a large, deep sided, heavy-based frying pan. Add shallots and garlic and cook until soft, but not brown, then tip in the rice and stir for 1 minute until the rice begins to turn translucent.
2. Pour in the wine and stir well, then add two handfuls of hot stock and stir until the rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid. Lower the heat and continue to add the stock, a couple of ladles at a time, only adding more when the rice has absorbed each additional of liquid. Continue until all the stock is used up - the risotto should be creamy and the rice tender. Add more stock if needed.
3. Meanwhile, throw the sliced chorizo into a small frying pan and fry until some fat has come out of the sausage. Reserve a few pieces for the garnish, then add the artichokes to the pan and stir to warm through. Remove risotto from the heat, then add chorizo and artichokes. Stir in remaining butter, 25g of parmesan and parsley.
4. Season well and transfer to a large serving dish. Garnish with the reserved chorizo and parmesan.

Curtis' tip

If you can find a good deli, this dish would be great with Spianata Calabrese, a type of spicy salami from Calabrese, a type of spicy salami from Calabria in southern Italy

  This recipe was delicious. I also added mushrooms and used a larger quantity of marinated artichokes - as we love artichokes so much! I used Carnaroli rice in place of the arborio as the Italians here in Oz swear it makes a better risotto. The leftovers tasted even better the next day as the flavour had really developed. Would definitely make this one again!!

  fantastically tasty, my favourite has always been a red wine, butternut squash risotto but this has swayed me! frying the chorizo gives the whole dish a great smoky flavour, and it's a fairly simple and quick recipe. Thumbs up!

  Try adding some mushrooms and/or frozen peas to the chorizo as it cooks. Some fennel seeds and a little paprika are also good additions to the rice.

  This was pretty simple dish, and an interesting combination of flavours, however I thought it was a bit on the bland side and could have done with a more bold flavour? Perhaps I should have used more chorizo...

  I only used a small amount of Chorizo (less than I would use in other dishes) in this but found it quite overpowering. I don't think the Artichoke and Chorizo worked very well together. I added in some Asparagus as well which was quite good. Perhaps I need to change the amounts to get it just right!
