SAUSAGE RISOTTO

When you find a fabulous risotto base recipe, the possibilities are endless for add-ins. This includes Italian sausage.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Risotto

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 (4 ounce) mild Italian sausage link, casing removed
4 tablespoons diced shallots
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 cup Arborio rice
½ cup Chardonnay wine
4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a saute pan over medium heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking it up with a spoon, for 3 minutes. Add shallots, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; saute until shallots begin to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add Arborio rice and stir until it begins to brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Add wine and continue stirring until almost absorbed, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Begin to add broth, 1/2 cup at a time. Stir until broth is almost completely absorbed, then add another 1/2 cup and repeat. Continue adding broth until risotto resembles a thick porridge but still has some bite to it. This process will take 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat. Stir in the sausage mixture, Parmesan cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Season with salt if necessary. Garnish with thyme sprigs and serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh, ripe tomatoes, baby spinach, and flavorful sausage will make a big difference in the final dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the sausage. If you add too much sausage at once, it will steam instead of brown. Cook the sausage in batches if necessary.
  • Toast the rice before adding the liquid. This will help the rice absorb the flavors of the other ingredients and give it a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Add the liquid to the rice gradually, stirring constantly. This will help the rice cook evenly and prevent it from becoming gummy.
  • Let the risotto rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the rice to absorb the remaining liquid and become creamy.

Conclusion:

This tomato, spinach, and sausage risotto is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this risotto a try. You won't be disappointed!
