RISOTTO WITH PEAS AND SAUSAGE



Risotto With Peas and Sausage image

Vegetables as seasonal as a maypole shape this risotto. There is a bit of veal for those who desire a more substantial plate of food, but it's optional. For vegetarians, the broth does not have to be chicken. Omit the butter and cheese, and you're in vegan territory. As for the rice, regular arborio works fine though Vialone Nano, the elegant variety that is preferred in Venice for risotto with peas, is my choice for added culture, not necessarily flavor.

Time 40m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 to 4 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup finely chopped leeks, whites with a little green
3 cloves garlic, slivered
5 ounces weisswurst, casing removed and diced, or 5 ounces finely diced veal shoulder (optional)
1 1/2 cups Vialone Nano or arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
3/4 cups shelled English peas (12 ounces in the pod)
Salt and ground black pepper
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/3 cup shredded pecorino cheese
1 tablespoon minced chives

Steps:

  • Place stock in a saucepan and keep on low heat.
  • Heat oil in a separate heavy 3-quart saucepan. Add leeks and garlic and sauté on medium-low until leeks are translucent. Stir in sausage or veal, if using. Cook 2 to 3 minutes. Add in rice and cook a few minutes, stirring, until grains start to whiten. Add wine and cook until it's nearly evaporated.
  • Add a 1/2 cup of the warm stock and the peas. Stir and cook at a steady simmer until the stock has nearly evaporated. Add another 1/2 cup of the stock, stir from time to time until it's nearly evaporated. Keep this up until the rice is almost al dente, the peas are tender and there's only a little stock left. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Fold in lemon zest and remaining stock; the result should be creamy. Cook another minute or two. Fold in butter.
  • Divide risotto among 4 to 6 shallow soup plates. Top each portion with cheese and chives. Serve.

Sausage and Spring Pea Risotto with Lemon and Parmesan image

Spring has officially sprung! And with it, we find ourselves coming out of casserole-and-stew-laden hibernation and craving food that's simple, bright, and-of course-delicious. This dish fits the bill perfectly. Creamy and luxurious, risotto is our favorite way to highlight springy flavors. This version has pops of green peas, bites of crispy pork sausage, and is finished with a squeeze of lemon juice. It's as balanced as it is satisfying, making it pretty much impossible to put down your fork.

Categories     main course

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 11

9 ounce Italian Pork Sausage
1 unit Shallot
1 unit Lemon
¾ cup Arborio Rice
1 unit Chicken Stock Concentrate
6 ounce Peas
¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
3 tablespoon Butter
Kosher Salt
Pepper

Steps:

  • Remove sausage from casings; discard casings. Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate, keeping as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Meanwhile, wash and dry all produce. Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lemon (quarter both lemons for 4 servings). Combine 4 cups water (7 cups for 4) and stock concentrate in a medium pot. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat so mixture is at a low simmer.
  • Heat pan with reserved oil over medium heat. Add 1 TBSP butter, shallot, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
  • Add ½ cup stock and rice to pan. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly absorbed. Continue adding warm stock ½ cup at a time, stirring after each addition and letting liquid absorb before adding more. Continue until rice is al dente and creamy, 25-30 minutes.
  • Once risotto has finished cooking, stir in sausage, peas, half the Parmesan, 2 TBSP butter, and a squeeze of lemon juice (to taste). Season generously with salt and pepper.
  • Divide risotto between bowls. Top with lemon zest and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.

RISOTTO WITH SAUSAGE AND PARSLEY



Risotto With Sausage and Parsley image

This is a very simple if slightly stove-intensive dinner, a two-pot meal that comes together serially to achieve a hearty whole. I use sweet Italian sausage most of the time, but the hot varieties work as well, and always the richest chicken stock available - sometimes adding bouillon to my homemade stock for the extra oomph it provides. The key is stirring, stirring, stirring the rice as you add the stock, taking care to incorporate each ladleful entirely into the rice before adding more. Taste often at the end, and adjust the seasoning as you like, but do not stint on either the lemon juice or the parsley, as their brightness acts as a terrific foil to the rich, unctuous quality of the rice.

Categories     grains and rice, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds sweet or hot Italian sausage
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
5 to 6 cups chicken stock, ideally homemade
1 to 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large onion, peeled and diced
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup packed and roughly grated Parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 of 1 lemon
1/2 cup finely chopped Italian parsley leaves

Steps:

  • With the tip of a small, sharp knife, slit open the sausage casings. Crumble the meat into a wide, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, and set over medium heat. If the meat is not rendering enough fat to coat the bottom of the pan as it begins to cook, add olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the meat is frying gently, not steaming. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the sausage, and cook, breaking up any large chunks of sausage and stirring occasionally, until the meat is opaque and crisp at the edges, approximately 10 minutes. Remove sausage from pan, and reserve 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.
  • Pour the stock into a medium saucepan or pot, and bring to a low simmer.
  • While the stock heats, return the heavy skillet or Dutch oven to medium-low heat, and add to it the 1 tablespoon reserved sausage fat and 1 tablespoon butter, or 2 tablespoons butter if you don't want to cook with the sausage fat. When the butter foams, add the diced onion, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it is soft and translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add the rice, and stir until well coated, adding another tablespoon of fat if necessary. Stir until translucent, an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Raise the heat under the rice to medium, and add the wine to the skillet. Stir until wine is absorbed, then reduce the heat slightly. Begin adding ladlefuls of hot broth to the rice, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Cook rice until it is tender but slightly chewy, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. You may not need all the broth. You may need more than you have; if additional liquid is needed, you can use boiling water.
  • Remove the skillet from heat, and add the cheese, stirring to mix it into the rice. Add the sausage to the rice, and stir again. Taste, and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Squeeze the lemon over the rice, and then mound the risotto on a large, warmed bowl. Scatter the parsley over the top, and serve immediately, with more grated Parmesan on the side.

RISOTTO WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE



Risotto with Italian Sausage image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/4 cup butter, cut in cubes
1/4 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
2 cups Arborio rice
5 cups chicken stock, plus more if needed
4 large pinches saffron
1/2 cup grated Parmesan, plus more for garnish
4 links mild Italian sausage
Fresh chopped parsley, for garnish

Steps:

  • Add the butter and olive oil to a medium skillet (cast iron works great). We use nonstick for convenience at the restaurant. When the pan is hot and the butter is melted, add the garlic and then add the rice. Stir the rice and garlic to coat with the oil and butter. Once completely coated, stirring for about a minute, add some of the stock until the rice is slightly covered. Continue to add the stock slowly as the stock is absorbed by the rice. Reduce to medium heat and stir occasionally to prevent sticking to skillet.
  • Once the rice has cooked for 5 to 10 minutes, add the saffron. Continue to add the stock slowly, covering the rice with stock, allowing it to absorb into the rice while cooking and then recovering the rice with stock. This process will be repeated until the rice is cooked to desired tenderness. As the saffron is slowly absorbed into the rice, the risotto will turn a brilliant yellow. If you use stringy style saffron it should all be broken down and absorbed by the time the risotto is finished. (The powder version takes less time to absorb.)
  • Slowly reduce the amount of chicken stock that is added as you reach the desired tenderness, about 45 minutes. Once this magical point is reached, stir in the cheese.
  • Add the sausage to a medium pot of boiling water. Cook for 12 to 15 minutes depending on size and style of sausage. (Don't pierce the sausage.)
  • Place the desired serving size of risotto on a plate or pasta bowl. Garnish by sprinkling a medium circle of cheese in the middle of the risotto and sprinkle a smaller circle of parsley on top for color. Peel the sausage, slice lengthwise in half and line the boarder of each side of the risotto with the sausage. (Optionally, cut the sausage in 1/4-inch pieces on the bias and add to the risotto before plating.)

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make all the difference in your risotto. Look for plump, firm vegetables, and flavorful sausage.
  • Don't overcook the rice. Risotto should be cooked until it is al dente, with a slight bite to it. If you overcook the rice, it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
  • Stir the risotto constantly. Stirring the risotto helps to release the starch from the rice, which gives it its creamy texture. Be patient and keep stirring until the risotto is cooked through.
  • Add the cheese and butter at the end. The cheese and butter will help to make the risotto creamy and rich. Add them just before serving, so that they don't have a chance to melt completely.
  • Serve the risotto immediately. Risotto is best served hot, so that you can enjoy its creamy texture and flavorful ingredients.

Conclusion:

Sausage, pea, and pumpkin risotto-style rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. With its flavorful ingredients and creamy texture, this risotto is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy rice, give this recipe a try.
