Steps:
- Heat oil in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and sauté until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Add all mushrooms, thyme, and oregano and sauté until mushrooms are tender, about 10 minutes. Add 1/2 cup Madeira; boil until almost absorbed, about 1 minute. Set aside.
- Bring stock to simmer in large saucepan; remove from heat and cover to keep hot. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add rice; stir 2 minutes. Add remaining 1 cup Madeira; simmer until absorbed, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup hot stock; simmer until almost absorbed, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Continue to cook until rice is just tender and mixture is creamy, adding more stock by cupfuls, stirring often and allowing most stock to be absorbed before adding more, about 25 minutes. Stir in sausage mixture. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl. Pass cheese separately.
SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH RAISINS
This risotto is a variation on a dish the chef and restaurateur Jimmy Bradley's grandmother made when he was a kid, shuttling between parents in Rhode Island and Philadelphia. Mr. Bradley hauled it out one day when he had mushrooms to spare; it started as a special and was until recently served on the menu at the Red Cat, beneath a sweet-and-sour glazed quail. You don't need the quail. As is true in so much of Bradley's cooking, there is a genuine interplay of flavors and textures at work in the dish. Above the foundation of broth-enriched rice, the sweet of the raisins rides calmly into the bite of the radicchio. Meanwhile, the soft, salty whoosh of the cheese rises up over the loamy richness of the mushrooms like steam over a marsh. The sausage seems an elegant afterthought, fennel-studded excess to help blunt autumn's chill.

Steps:
- Place raisins in a bowl; cover with hot water. Set aside to plump.
- Combine sausage and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 5 minutes, breaking up sausage, until meat begins to brown. Reduce heat and add mushrooms. Cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to exude liquid.
- Simmer broth in a saucepan.
- Melt butter in oil in an enamel-lined cast-iron casserole over medium heat. Add onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sauté 5 minutes, until vegetables are translucent. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, until edges of rice are translucent and coated with pan juices. Add wine and simmer 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until wine has almost evaporated. Add 1/2 cup hot broth; stir over medium-low heat until rice mixture is moist, not runny. Repeat, adding 1/2 cup hot broth at a time, until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy (about 20 minutes; adjust heat to keep rice cooking gently and add more hot broth or water if needed).
- Drain raisins and add to rice. Add sausage mixture, radicchio, Parmesan and thyme and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a small saucepan simmer broth.
- Use medium pot. On medium heat add olive oil to heat; brown meat while breaking up sausage, add onions. When about half way done add mushrooms and saute until soft. Stir in risotto.
- Add one ladle full of broth. Stir. Add herbs if using. Reduce heat to simmer. As risotto absorbs broth continue adding one ladle full at a time while stirring. This should take about 35-45 minutes. When a creamy consistency is reached and risotto is cooked (taste), remove from heat. Stir in cheese.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your risotto will be. Look for flavorful sausage, fresh mushrooms, and a good quality Arborio rice.
- Cook the rice properly: Arborio rice is a short-grain rice that absorbs a lot of liquid. It's important to cook it slowly and stir it frequently so that it doesn't stick to the pan or burn.
- Add the liquid gradually: Don't add all of the liquid to the rice at once. Add it in small increments, stirring constantly, until the rice is cooked through.
- Season to taste: Risotto should be flavorful but not overpowering. Taste it as you cook it and adjust the seasonings accordingly.
Conclusion:
Sausage and mushroom risotto is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It's a great way to use up leftover sausage and mushrooms, and it's also a good source of protein and fiber. With a little planning and effort, you can make a restaurant-quality risotto at home.
