Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 600 grams luganighe sausage (simmered for 20 minutes in plain water)
  • 25 grams butter
  • 1 yellow onion, finely diced
  • 250 grams dry rice (risotto rice)
  • 200 ml white wine
  • 800 ml meat stock (chicken or vegetable stock, kept warm, make it easy for yourself and just dissolve some stock powder in 800ml boiling water)

  • Salt & pepper to taste

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a large pan, melt the butter and sweat the onions over low heat without letting it caramelize

  • Step 2: Add the rice and mix well. Saute over low heat until rice turns translucent

  • Step 3: Add white wine and turn up heat. Stirring constantly until white wine is completely absorbed by rice

  • Step 4: Add stock to rice. Stop adding stock when rice has been covered by liquid. Bring to the boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Leave rice uncovered and stir occasionally to prevent bottom from burning. Add more stock if liquid has been reduced too much. Keep simmering until rice is creamy and al dente (approximately 20 minutes)

  • Step 5: Stir in saffron and grated cheese. Mix well and season to taste with salt and pepper

  • Step 6: Portion rice and sausage into deep plates. Serve
