Sausage Risotto Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6 cups chicken or vegetable stock
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb Italian sausages, casings removed and crumbled
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
• 1/2 cup dry white wine
• 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions:

1. In a saucepan, bring the stock to a simmer.
2. In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook for 5-7 minutes, breaking up any large clumps with a wooden spoon, until the sausage is browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.
3. Add onion to the same saucepan and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Then add the rice and cook for a few minutes, stirring constantly, until the rice is translucent.
4. Pour in the white wine and stir until evaporated.
5. Begin adding 1/2 cup of the hot stock to the rice, stirring continuously, until the stock is absorbed. Keep repeating this step until the rice is cooked, but still has some bite to it (around 20 minutes).
6. Add the cooked sausage back into the pot, along with the Parmesan cheese and butter. Stir until everything is well combined and the cheese is melted. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Let the risotto rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with parsley and serve hot.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the sausage risotto as a main dish with a side salad or roasted vegetables, or as a side dish alongside grilled chicken or fish.
