Ingredients

• 250 grams Italian sausage
• 300 grams Arborio rice
• 1 liter Chicken stock
• 120 milliliters Dry white wine
• 50 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
• 30 grams Butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 medium Yellow onion, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat the chicken stock in a saucepan and keep it warm over low heat.

Step 2

In a large skillet or saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Remove the casings from the Italian sausage and crumble it into the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5–7 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Transfer the sausage to a plate and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pan, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring, until softened and translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the Arborio rice to the pan and stir well, allowing the grains to be coated in the oil and aromatics. Toast the rice for 2–3 minutes until the edges become slightly translucent.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and stir continuously until the wine is mostly absorbed by the rice.

Step 6

Begin adding the warm chicken stock to the rice, one ladleful at a time. Stir frequently and allow each addition of stock to be absorbed before adding the next. Continue this process for about 20–25 minutes, or until the rice is tender but still has a slight bite, and the risotto has a creamy consistency.

Step 7

When the rice is nearly cooked, stir the cooked sausage back into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the butter and grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. The risotto should be creamy and rich.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy your Sausage Risotto!
