Sauté the diced chorizo in a pan until the oils are released, then add the rice and stir until translucent. Gradually add the vegetable stock one ladle at a time, stirring constantly until the rice is tender but firm.

Stir in the Parmesan and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Spread the risotto onto a flat tray and let it cool completely in the fridge for at least 30 minutes; this makes the balls easier to shape.

Take a tablespoon of the cooled rice and roll it into a tight ball. Repeat until all the mixture is used, aiming for roughly 12-16 balls.

Roll each ball first in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in panko breadcrumbs for a crunchy exterior.

Heat the oil in a deep pan and fry the balls in batches for 3-4 minutes until deep golden brown. Drain on paper towels.
