Cooking Steps

Prepare
1
  • Preheat the oven to 210°C and prepare the stock.
  • Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat and fry the chorizo for 2 - 3 minutes, then remove from the pan and set aside until serving.
  • Crush or mince the garlic, then fry it in the same pan for 1 minute over medium-high heat.
  • Add the tomato paste and fry for 1 more minute.
Make the risotto
2
  • Deglaze with the balsamic vinegar, then stir in the sugar and the pearl barley.
  • Fry for 1 minute, then pour in the stock.
  • Bring to the boil, then lower the heat and cover with the lid. Cook the pearl barley for 25 - 30 minutes until stock stock as been absorbed.
  • Stir regularly, adding more water as necessary if it seems too dry.
Roast the vegetables
3
  • Slice the courgette into crescents and cut the onion into wedges.
  • Halve the tomatoes, then transfer all three to a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss well to coat.
  • Roast the vegetables in the oven for 20 - 25 minutes, tossing halfway.
  • Grate the cheese and cut the lemon into 6 wedges.
Serve
4
  • Stir the cream cheese, the Sicilian-style herbs, some lemon juice as preferred and half each of the roasted vegetables and the cheese into the risotto. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 
  • Serve everything on deep plates and garnish with the rest of the cheese. Serve the lemon wedges alongside.
