Method

  1. Heat the oil in a medium-sized pan, then add the bacon, shallots, garlic and chorizo. Gently cook for 8 mins, stirring occasionally so everything cooks evenly.
  2. Stir in the rice, coating all over with the cooking juices in the pan. Add just enough stock to cover the rice, bring to a simmer and gently cook until all the liquid is absorbed. Continue adding the stock a ladleful at a time, and gently cook. Just before the final ladleful of stock, add the broad beans and stir through, cooking for 3-4 mins until tender. Remove the chorizo, slice thinly, return to the pan and mix through before serving.

CHORIZO

This Spanish sausage comes in both fresh and dried varieties. The fresh are perfect for cooking, and the dried, which don't necessarily need cooking, can be eaten as tapas. Chorizo gets its distinctive flavour from smoked paprika and can be either dulce (sweet) or picante (spicy).

    Very nice, not sure you need the bacon in it though. The chorizo gives enough flavour.

    Made this last night, but altered it slightly as left the bacon out and used ready diced cooking chorizo. Also added a splash of white wine before the stock and a small amount of parmesan at the end - very nice indeed!

    Very tasty if you like chorizo (hubby loves it!). I find it a little greasy and overpowered by the chorizo. It is very simple to make and I am sure next time I can tweak the levels of bacon and chorizo to make it five star!

    Interesting, very hearty and perfect for such a gourmet-meat-eater like my boyfriend, but for me was a bit too heavy and full of fravour. I halfed chorizo - following some other comments here - and it was still very chorizo-y ;) So keep that in mind. All in all, tasty and easy to make, but not quite amazing.

    Tried this tonight, great. I used onions and added crime frail he at the end plus some Parmesan to serve. Oh and I used fresh broad beans. Would definitely do again. The wife loved it!
