Risotto con salsiccia

Risotto con salsiccia is a hearty dish from northern Italy, perfect for cold winter days. Apart from salsiccia sausage, only a few ingredients are needed for the basic version of this comforting dish: onions, rice, meat stock, wine (versions with both red and white wine exist), salt, and pepper.

Although delicious enough even in its basic form, risotto con salsiccia is often additionally enriched with aromatic herbs, mushrooms, radicchio, and even gorgonzola or stracchino. It is best enjoyed warm, garnished with grated Parmigiano cheese.
