RICE WITH SAUSAGE AND PARMESAN CHEESE RECIPE

HOME>PASTA>RISOTTO
Risotto con salsice
Preparation - Medium/Difficult
Serves 4 - 6


INGREDIENTS:
  • 5 T butter
  • 1/2 lb sweet Italian sausage, crumbled
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups Arborio rice
  • pinch of saffron
  • salt and pepper
  • 5 to 6 cups chicken broth diluted with water and heated
  • 1/2 cup dry Italian white wine
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
OO Heavy saucepan with cover.

METHOD:
  1. Brown the sausage in 1/2 the butter in a heavy pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the onion and sauté till soft and transparent.
  3. Stir in the wine and cook till nearly evaporated.
  4. Add the rice and stir till well coated with the butter mixture, continue cooking for a few minutes.
  5. Add the saffron and season lightly with salt and pepper. Pour on a ladleful of hot chicken broth, cooking over medium-high heat stirring frequently.
  6. When broth has been absorbed, add another ladleful. Continue in this way till all the broth has been used up, about 20 to 25 minutes.
  7. Sample the rice after it has cooked for 20 minutes, if you feel it needs more cooking add more liquid and continue to cook to your taste. The rice should be al dente, with a very slight bite to it, with the grains separate, and the rice creamy. Bear in mind that different brands and qualities of rice will need more or less liquid.
  8. Add the rest of the butter and the cheese; mix well with a wooden spoon, cover and let sit for a couple of minutes.
  9. Serve onto pre-warmed plates. Have extra grated cheese at table.
