Sausage Risotto

Recipe by thedailygourmet from allrecipes.com

Dinner 50 Mins.

Ingredients

4

4 servings

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

Instructions

  • 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.
