Ingredients
2salsiccieI like to use a coarse salciccia as it tends to have more flavour
1medium sizedred onionfinely chopped
2garlic clovesfinely chopped
olive oilenough to slightly cover the bottom of your pot
1medium sized glassrisotto rice
1dlwhite wine
2medium sized glasseswater
1tea spoonvegetable bouillon
4smallgrumolo rosetteswashed and cut into 1 cm slices
1table spoonricottabecause this is what had
Instructions
Cut your salsiccie into 1cm wide rolls and gently fry them until they are browned on all sides. Be careful not to burn them. Set aside.
Heat up the olive oil in your pot before adding the finely cut onions and garlic cloves. Reduce the heat to medium and cook them until your onions are translucent - this will take 5-7 minutes. Also here, be careful not to burn them.
Next add the rice and stir continiously ensuring that the rice grains get some roast aromas before adding the wine. Your rice should sizzle when pouring the wine over it. Let this cook for 2-3 minutes on medium heat. Then add the water as well as the bouillon and reduce the heat to let everything simmer gently.
After 10 minues add the roasted salsiccia rolls (make sure you add the fat you have in the pan) as well as the cut grumolo rosettes. Stir all together and let it simmer until your rice is al dente - this will take approx. another 10 minutes. Before serving, add the ricotta.
