Decided to make risotto again the other night.. poked around the supermarket to pick up whatever I could find that looked interesting. So ended up with a Tomato, Chorizo Sausage and Spinach Risotto. I only used 1 cup of uncooked Arborio rice, but that somehow made enough for about 3 full meals because of the sheer amount of ingredients I stuffed in there 😛 Great comfort food, and it was tasty too.
