Ingredients
1/2 pound of smoked chorizo sausage links
2 tablespoons of olive or vegetable oil
1 medium of red bell pepper chopped
1/2 cup of corn frozen, whole kernel
1 1/2 cups of Arborio rice
1/2 cup of Mexican beer or dry white wine
5-6 cups of reduced-salt chicken broth heated
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper
1/2 cup of green onion chopped
1 small of avocado seeded and chopped
2 tablespoons of cotija cheese finely grated
lime wedges
Directions
- Slice sausage links into lengthwise quarters; cut crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces. In a Circulon Ultimum deep skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, bell pepper and corn 5 minutes or until sausage begins to brown; remove sausage mixture from pan.
- Return drippings to pan (add additional oil to measure 2 tablespoons, if needed). Stir rice into drippings over medium heat about 2 minute. Add beer, stirring until almost all of liquid is evaporated. Begin adding hot broth, 1/2 cup at a time, cooking and stirring until liquid is almost absorbed before adding more broth. Continue stirring in broth 25 to 30 minutes until rice is tender and mixture is creamy. Stir in green onion and reserved sausage; heat through.
- Divide risotto among 4 serving bowls. Top with avocado and cheese. Serve with lime wedges.
