INGREDIENTS

  • Base Ingredients

    • 🧈 4 tablespoons butter, divided
    • 1 mild Italian sausage link (4 oz), 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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.
