Recipe Summary & Steps
Brussels Sprouts and Sausage Risotto
Total time: 30 minutes Ingredients:
2/3 cup (4.2oz, 125gr) Arborio rice (or other rice specifically for risotto – Carnaroli or Vialone Nano)
1/2 cup (4oz, 120ml) dry, white wine
2 1/4 cups (18oz, 540ml) chicken stock may not all be used
1/2 onion, chopped other half for the condimenti
1 tbs butter
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese – freshly grated (about 2oz, 60gr)
Condimenti:
8oz (240gr) sausages, sliced into bite-size pieces any flavor, hot or not
7oz (200gr) Brussels sprouts, trimmed
1/2 onion, chopped
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 tsp thyme
1 tsp rosemary
Instructions:
Heat chicken stock and keep hot over low heat.
In medium saucepan heat butter over medium heat.Add onion and sauté until transparent.
Add rice and sauté stirring, for 2 – 3 minutes until rice has white center.
Add white wine and stir.
Start condimenti.
When wine is almost absorbed add a 1/3 cup of stock, stir.
When stock is almost absorbed add another 1/3 cup and continue adding 1/3 cup at a time and stirring.
Before the last 1/3 cup taste a few kernels of rice. They should be just ‘al dente’ – slightly resistant to the tooth but fully cooked. If more stock is needed add it 1/6 cup at a time and waiting until almost completely absorbed.
At this point risotto will be thick but not stiff – there will still be visible liquid and it will not hold its shape on a plate.
Stir in the Parmesan and condimenti, pour into a bowl or risotto platter and serve immediately. It will continue to absorb liquid and the leftovers (if any) will be very stiff.
Condimenti:
Remove as many outer leaves from the sprouts as possible, then cut the remaining heart into quarters.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium. Add onion and sauté 4 minutes.
Add paprika, sausages, and sauté 4 minutes longer.
Add Brussels sprouts, herbs, and sauté another 3 – 4 minutes until everything is almost cooked through.
Turn heat to low (or off) and keep warm until needed.
