- Add the sausage, bacon and tomato purée and sauté 7 minutes/100C/speed 1.
- Then add the wine, rice, stock paste and water, stir with the aid of the spatula and cook 10 minutes/100C/reverse/speed soft (spoon symbol).

Notes
- Vegetarian option - replace the chorizo and bacon with mushrooms, roast vegetables or a plant-based sausage. Use vegetable stock instead of chicken.
- Dairy-free option - use vegan parmesan or nutritional yeast for creaminess.
- Herbs and spices - try adding fresh thyme, parsley or basil for a burst of freshness. A pinch of chilli flakes will give a hint of heat.
- Additional ingredients - for extra nutrition try mixing in baby spinach or roasted cherry tomatoes.
- This sausage and pea risotto recipe made in the Thermomix can easily be halved if you're cooking for less people.
