Cheesy Sausage Risotto

Submitted by cookingpompom

"Us Aussies love sausages: great on a BBQ and kids love them too. I always cook extra and make this the next night. For the vegetables, I use whatever is in season (because veggies in season are always cheaper). This re-heats well the next day"

Excellent risotto! I have never baked a risotto before and was unsure about how it would turn out, but the result was a great surprise. It turned out beautifully and was quite easy to prepare. I grilled my sausages and then cut them into wheels, adding peas, carrots and flat leafed parsley. Thanks for a terrific meal. Made for ZWT 8 :)

My dh & I really enjoyed this comforting dish for dinner this evening. It was light, fluffy and very filling, had great texture and flavor. I added sweet red peppers and yucchini as my veggie choice and I used an old cheddar cheese and hot italian sausage, followed your ingredients and directions exactly as written. Well worth the extra effort. Made for the Fearless Red Dragons - zwt8 - Australia
