Instant pot chorizo and pea risotto
An easy Italian risotto with chorizo and peas made in the instant pot.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups uncooked arborio rice
- 200 g chorizo sausage peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup of frozen green peas *
- 1/2 cup of dry white wine (optional)
- 1 medium onion, sliced (optional)
Herbs and spices
- 6 cups of beef stock
- 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder
- 2-3 sprigs of chopped parsley
- 2 tablespoons butter
- pinch of salt and pepper
Instructions
- Add all the ingredients to the instant pot, except for the parmesan cheese.
- Set the Instant pot to cook for on high for 5 minutes.
- Let it natural release when it finishes and beeps. Open the instant pot carefully and stir the risotto.
- Add in the parmesan cheese and stir. (If there is too much water, turn on the Sauté function for a few minutes and stir.)
- Serve while warm.
Notes
* If you only have fresh or canned peas, add them at the end at the same time as the parmesan, instead of cooking with the rice.
What to serve with it?
You can serve this Instant pot chorizo risotto with peas as a main dish with a salad like this roasted cherry tomatoes salad with vinaigrette or this bacon and blue cheese salad.
How to store it?
This chorizo risotto can easily be prepared in advance and stored in the fridge for around a day or so.
If you want to freeze it however, I recommend doing so before you add the parmesan cheese. Let it cool completely and place it in an airtight glass container, and it should last a couple of months.
