Instructions

Get Prepped
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7.
Boil your kettle, then pour the water for the risotto (see ingredients for amount) into a measuring jug.
Peel and grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). Zest and halve the lemon (see ingredients for amount). Finely chop the chives (use scissors if easier).

Start the Risotto
2

Heat a drizzle of oil in a large ovenproof pan on medium heat (If you don't have an ovenproof pan, use a normal saucepan and transfer to an ovenproof dish later).
Once hot, add the chorizo and fry until it starts to brown, 3-4 mins.
Stir in the Cajun spice mix and half the garlic. Cook for 1 min more.

Time to Bake
3

Add the risotto rice and the juice of half the lemon. Stir and cook until the edges of the rice are translucent and the lemon juice has evaporated, 1-2 mins.
Pour in the boiled water and chicken stock paste and stir well to combine. Bring back to the boil, then pop a lid on the pan (or cover with foil).
Bake on the middle shelf of your oven until the rice is cooked and the water has been absorbed, 20-25 mins.

Fish to Fry
4

When the risotto has 5-10 mins of cooking time left, heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan on high heat. Pat the monkfish pieces dry with kitchen paper.
Once hot, add the monkfish, butter and remaining garlic to the pan. Cook the monkfish for 3-4 mins on each side, adjusting the heat as necessary.
After the monkfish has cooked for a few mins, add the prawns to the pan for the final 4-5 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw seafood.

Zest It Up
5

Once the prawns and monkfish are cooked, remove the pan from the heat. IMPORTANT: The monkfish is cooked when opaque in the middle. The prawns are cooked when pink on the outside and opaque in the middle.
Stir in half the lemon zest. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.

Finish and Serve
6

When the rice is cooked, stir in the peas and half the chives. Taste and season with salt and pepper if needed, adding a splash of water if it's a little dry.
Share the risotto between your bowls, then top with the prawns and monkfish. Spoon over any melted buttery juices from the pan.
Finish with sprinkle of the remaining chives and lemon zest.
Enjoy!
