Sausage and Vegetable Risotto

Directions

1. Pour the stock into a sauce pan, if using fresh herbs, add them to the stock and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover until ready to use.
2. In a large sauce pan, heat oil over medium heat, add onion and saute until tender and translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the sausages, using a wooden spoon, break up the sausage as it cooks into bite size pieces until browned, about 5 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring until just wilted, about 2 minutes. Mix in the rice and cook, stirring until the kernels are hot and coated with oil; about another 2 minutes. Add the wine and stir continuously until the liquid is absorbed.
3. Using a ladle, add the hot stock about cup at a time, stirring constantly and making sure the stock has been absorbed before adding more to the rice. Continue adding cup of stock and stirring rice constantly and gently. When the rice is about half cooked or only 1 1/2 cups of the stock remains add the asparagus pieces into the rice and continue stirring. When you have about 1 cup of liquid left, stir the peas into the rice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue stirring. The risotto is done when the rice grains are creamy on the outside and firm yet tender to the bite, (about 20-25 minutes total).
4. When the risotto is just right, remove it from the heat and stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese. Spoon into large soup bowls, top with shaved parmesan and serve immediately.

"I have never made Risotto before, but I hear it being used in a lot of movies I've watched. For the amount of work involved, because I had to constantly stir the rice, It was not worth the time. I d..." See moreon't know if I can make risotto in my rice maker. That would make this an instant 5 star. We really liked it mainly because it already included our vegetable servings and the sausage/veggie combo was delicious. I think I'll do this again maybe just using basmatti rice or quinoa and see how it turns out. No photo this time. My camera froze and I lost everything during the reset."

"This was ok. It was good, but nothing special and a lot of work for what it was. I may or may not make it again...." See more"
