How to prepare the red wine and sausage risotto recipe

1. First, finely chop the onion and transfer it to the pan with the oil. Brown it for a couple of minutes then add the sausage removed from the casing and crumbled with your hands, also browning for another 2 minutes.
2. Add the rice, toast it then add the red wine.
3. When you no longer smell alcohol rising from the pan, start the actual cooking with the boiling broth . You can prepare it yourself or use stock cubes or ready-made broth. The important thing is to add only enough to just cover the rice, little by little. From this moment, calculate 16-18 minutes of cooking.
4. Remove from the heat and then stir in the butter and parmesan, then let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.

Here is a video with all the steps of the recipe. Our advice is to follow the Piedmontese tradition and blend with a good Barbera which you will then also bring to the table as a wine to consume.
