We recently started creating our own recipes to share with all of our listeners. The first that we have officially filmed for YouTube is a red wine risotto with sweet Italian sausage. Ever wondered how to make a good risotto? We cover some risotto basics in this video.
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Quarts Beef Broth
3 Sweet Italian Pork Sausage Links, casing removed
3 Cloves Garlic, minced
1/4 Tsp. Crushed Red Pepper
1/4 Tsp. Basil
1/2 Tsp. Onion Powder
2 Cups Rice Select Arborio
1 Cup Red Wine (we used Nero d’Avola)
3 Twists of Salt
1 Tbsp. Unsalted Butter
Garnish:
Parmesan Cheese, grated
Fresh Parsley Leaves
Though less common, we love removing the sausage from its casing and cooking it ground. The flavor is delightful in all sorts of dishes from sauces to pasta and so much more. The sweet Italian sausage has the perfect amount of spice SO unless you like things exceptionally hot, we recommend staying away from hot Italians in this recipe.
One of our upcoming guests, Pig Rock Sausage, has amazing flavors to choose from. We recommend adding a mix of your own spices (take advantage of your spice cabinet) and using a decent quality red wine to really bring out the flavor. Our wine in this recipe was a Sicilian red wine that was absolutely mouthwatering when paired with the flavors in this dish.
If you enjoy this video we would appreciate your feedback and encourage you to listen to the Uncorked Corner on Spotify or Apple. We will be sharing the full recipe and our episode on our website and will share those links here when they are alive.
