Sausage And Mushroom Risotto Food

MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Saute the onion and garlic in the olive oil until onion is tender and garlic is lightly browned. Remove garlic, and stir in the parsley, celery, salt, and pepper. Cook until celery is tender, then add the mushrooms. Reduce heat to low, and continue cooking until the mushrooms are soft.
• Pour the milk and cream into the skillet, and stir in the rice. Heat to a simmer. Stir the vegetable stock into the rice one cup at a time, until it is absorbed.
• When the rice has finished cooking, stir in the butter and Parmesan cheese, and remove from heat. Serve hot.

RISOTTO WITH SAUSAGE AND PARSLEY

Steps:

• With the tip of a small, sharp knife, slit open the sausage casings. Crumble the meat into a wide, heavy skillet or Dutch oven, and set over medium heat. If the meat is not rendering enough fat to coat the bottom of the pan as it begins to cook, add olive oil, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the meat is frying gently, not steaming. Sprinkle the salt and pepper over the sausage, and cook, breaking up any large chunks of sausage and stirring occasionally, until the meat is opaque and crisp at the edges, approximately 10 minutes. Remove sausage from pan, and reserve 1 tablespoon of the rendered fat.
• Pour the stock into a medium saucepan or pot, and bring to a low simmer.
• While the stock heats, return the heavy skillet or Dutch oven to medium-low heat, and add to it the 1 tablespoon reserved sausage fat and 1 tablespoon butter, or 2 tablespoons butter if you don't want to cook with the sausage fat. When the butter foams, add the diced onion, and cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until it is soft and translucent, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Add the rice, and stir until well coated, adding another tablespoon of fat if necessary. Stir until translucent, an additional 5 to 7 minutes.
• Raise the heat under the rice to medium, and add the wine to the skillet. Stir until wine is absorbed, then reduce the heat slightly. Begin adding ladlefuls of hot broth to the rice, stirring constantly and allowing each addition to be absorbed before adding the next. Cook rice until it is tender but slightly chewy, approximately 20 to 30 minutes. You may not need all the broth. You may need more than you have; if additional liquid is needed, you can use boiling water.
• Remove the skillet from heat, and add the cheese, stirring to mix it into the rice. Add the sausage to the rice, and stir again. Taste, and adjust seasonings with additional salt and pepper if necessary. Squeeze the lemon over the rice, and then mound the risotto on a large, warmed bowl. Scatter the parsley over the top, and serve immediately, with more grated Parmesan on the side.

SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO WITH RAISINS

Steps:

• Place raisins in a bowl; cover with hot water. Set aside to plump.
• Combine sausage and garlic in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook 5 minutes, breaking up sausage, until meat begins to brown. Reduce heat and add mushrooms. Cover and cook 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms start to exude liquid.
• Simmer broth in a saucepan.
• Melt butter in oil in an enamel-lined cast-iron casserole over medium heat. Add onion, celery, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; sauté 5 minutes, until vegetables are translucent. Add rice and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes, until edges of rice are translucent and coated with pan juices. Add wine and simmer 3 minutes, stirring continuously, until wine has almost evaporated. Add 1/2 cup hot broth; stir over medium-low heat until rice mixture is moist, not runny. Repeat, adding 1/2 cup hot broth at a time, until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy (about 20 minutes; adjust heat to keep rice cooking gently and add more hot broth or water if needed).
• Drain raisins and add to rice. Add sausage mixture, radicchio, Parmesan and thyme and mix well. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve immediately.

ITALIAN SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Add 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil to a large sauté pan over medium high heat, then add the chopped onion. Cook until onion is translucent, but don't let it brown. In another small pan, sauté the fresh mushrooms in some oil, set aside.
• Push onion to one side of saute pan, and add sausages (make sure casings have been removed.
• Stir the onions, then start breaking sausage (I like to use a flat, wooden spatula tool, like you see in the photos) into smaller pieces
• Once sausage is broken up, mix onions and sausage together until sausage is fully cooked and starts to brown. Remove from pan and set aside with the soaked porcini mushrooms or fresh sauteed mushrooms.
• In same pan, add 1 tablespoonful of olive oil, (heat should still be medium high), then add rice. Stir constantly, (add a little more oil if rice is too dry or sticks,) and cook for 1 minute.
• Add wine and stir constantly until it evaporates
• Start adding about 1/2 cup (113 ml) of hot stock (keep it in a pot on the stove) at a time, stirring so the rice doesn't stick and until it is absorbed
• Continue adding the stock to the rice, always stirring. The rice will continue to grow as you add the water.
• Once all the water has been added, return the other ingredients to the pan
• Stir thoroughly and continue to cook until the rice is al dente. It should take no longer than 20 minutes to cook risotto; 18 minutes is usually perfect. Click here to see a short video clip of stirring the Italian sausage and mushroom risotto.
• At this point, if the rice should be ready. Remove from heat and add the butter. This is the "mantecazione" of the risotto, which essentially is the final step to make the risotto creamy.
• Add the grated Parmigiano Reggiano cheese and stir until the butter and cheese are no longer visible and the rice is creamy. Taste for salt and pepper, and adjust as needed. Serve hot.

SAUSAGE AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• In a small saucepan simmer broth.
• Use medium pot. On medium heat add olive oil to heat; brown meat while breaking up sausage, add onions. When about half way done add mushrooms and saute until soft. Stir in risotto.
• Add one ladle full of broth. Stir. Add herbs if using. Reduce heat to simmer. As risotto absorbs broth continue adding one ladle full at a time while stirring. This should take about 35-45 minutes. When a creamy consistency is reached and risotto is cooked (taste), remove from heat. Stir in cheese.

RISOTTO WITH ITALIAN SAUSAGE

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.)

SAUTEED POLISH SAUSAGE WITH SWEET YELLOW ONIONS, SAUTEED SPINACH AND MUSHROOM RISOTTO

Steps:

• Saute onions in vegetable oil over medium heat until just translucent. Add chopped garlic and continue to saute for 2 minutes. Add spinach and saute until it begins to wilt. Serve immediately. Season with salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add chopped onion and garlic and saute until the onions become translucent. Add the mushrooms, reserving the mushroom juice, and rice to the pan and toss all of the ingredients together until they are thoroughly mixed. Add white wine to the pan and cook until the liquid is absorbed. Add the reserved mushroom juice, 1 teaspoon of salt and pepper and 1/2 cup of chicken stock to the saute pan. Continuously stir the mixture as you add warm chicken stock, 1/2 cup at a time, until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is cooked al dente and the stock is absorbed into the rice. Remove the pan from heat and add Parmesan and parsley for garnish. Serve immediately.
