2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, additional 1 tbsp for sautéing of beans
½ small sweet red onion, chopped
2 fresh sweet Italian sausage (approx 8 oz), casings removed, cut or crumbled into small pieces
1 ¼ cup Arborio rice
¼ cup white wine, additional tsp for sautéing of beans
6 ounces red beans (2 ounces each of pinto, red & kidney beans) *if using dry beans, weigh out after they have been boiled
1 garlic clove, minced
Pinch of savoury spice
3 tbsp strained tomatoes (pomodoro passata)
4 cups warm or room temp chicken or vegetable stock
2 tbsp butter
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

Remove from heat and set aside uncovered. For the risotto 1. In, preferably, a "non-stick" soup or risotto pot warm olive oil over medium heat 2. Add onion and sausage and sauté until the sausage is thoroughly cooked (approx 8-1omin) 3. Add strained tomato and stir 4. Add rice and sauté for approx 3 minutes, stirring frequently 5.

I've made this risotto several times and it's always a hit with my family and friends. It's a great way to use up leftover sausage and beans, and it's always delicious. I highly recommend it!

This risotto was a disappointment. The rice was undercooked and the sausage was dry. I think I would have been better off ordering takeout.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The flavor was a bit bland and the rice was slightly overcooked. I think I would have preferred a different type of sausage, maybe something with a bit more spice.

I'm not a big fan of risotto, but I decided to give this recipe a try and I was pleasantly surprised. The sausage and beans added a nice savory flavor, and the arborio rice cooked up perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

I made this risotto for a dinner party and it was a huge success! Everyone raved about the flavor and texture. I especially liked the crispy bits of sausage that added a nice contrast to the creamy rice. Highly recommend this recipe!

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I would have preferred a spicier sausage or maybe some added red pepper flakes. Otherwise, it was a good recipe and I would recommend it to others who enjoy mild flavors.
