CHORIZO RISOTTO

Today we would like to show you how to make a recipe that is delicious: a rice risotto with chorizo IGP from La Rioja. Risotto is one of the most internationally known and appreciated Italian dishes. In Italy risotto is usually served as a first course, as an alternative to pasta or spoon dishes, but there is no problem if you want to prepare it as a unique dish for your family.

We wanted to give it a distinctly Spanish touch with chorizo. And what better than to use a product with such excellent characteristics as the IGP Chorizo Riojano?
