Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 55m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 can (28 ounces) diced tomatoes, in juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
3/4 pound sweet or hot Italian sausage, casings removed
1 small onion, finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 cup Arborio rice
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 bunch flat-leaf spinach (10 to 14 ounces), washed well, tough stems removed, chopped (about 7 cups)
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving (optional)
2 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, combine tomatoes (with their juice) and 3 cups water. Bring just to a simmer; keep warm over low heat.
  • In a medium saucepan, heat oil over medium. Add sausage and onion; season with salt and pepper. Cook, breaking up sausage with a spoon, until sausage is opaque and onion has softened, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Add rice; cook, stirring until well coated, 1 to 2 minutes. Add wine; cook, stirring until absorbed, about 1 minute.
  • Add about 2 cups hot tomato mixture to rice; simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until absorbed, 4 to 5 minutes. Continue adding tomato mixture, 1 cup at a time, waiting for one cup to be absorbed before adding the next, stirring occasionally, until rice is creamy and just tender, about 25 minutes total (you may not have to use all the liquid).
  • Remove pan from heat. Stir in spinach, Parmesan, and butter; season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately (risotto will thicken as it cools), and sprinkle with additional Parmesan, if desired.

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.)

SAUSAGE RISOTTO



Sausage Risotto image

When you find a fabulous risotto base recipe, the possibilities are endless for add-ins. This includes Italian sausage.

Provided by thedailygourmet

Categories     Risotto

Time 50m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 tablespoons butter, divided
1 (4 ounce) mild Italian sausage link, casing removed
4 tablespoons diced shallots
½ teaspoon salt, or more to taste
1 cup Arborio rice
½ cup Chardonnay wine
4 cups chicken broth, or more as needed
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or to taste

Steps:

  • 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.

Tips:

  • Use arborio rice: This short-grain rice is the traditional choice for risotto because it has a high starch content that helps create a creamy texture.
  • Toast the rice: Toasting the rice in butter before adding the broth helps to develop its flavor and prevent it from sticking together.
  • Cook the rice slowly: Risotto is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient and let the rice absorb the broth gradually.
  • Stir the rice frequently: Stirring the rice helps to prevent it from sticking to the pot and also helps to release its starch, which creates the creamy texture.
  • Add the broth in small increments: Adding the broth in small increments helps the rice to absorb it evenly and prevents the risotto from becoming too soupy.
  • Season the risotto to taste: Risotto should be seasoned to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic, onion, or herbs, to taste.
  • Serve the risotto immediately: Risotto is best served immediately after it is cooked, while it is still creamy and hot.

Conclusion:

Sausage risotto with spinach and tomatoes is a delicious and satisfying dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can make a perfect risotto that will impress your family and friends.
