Italian Sausage Recipes

The pork products helped the survival of the family during the cold winter month and they were used judiciously in many cheap dinner recipes.

1 onion

1 cup of rice of the short grain variety like Carnaroli

2 cups of chicken stock

grated parmesan cheese

olive oil

salt, pepper

Slice an onion and cook it in a little olive oil.

Add one sausage without skin and let it brown while you break it in little pieces. Add one cup of rice and stir it with the oil and sausage. Pour the chicken stock and let it simmer covered for about twenty minutes. If the rice gets dry before being cooked, add a little water or stock.

Add the Parmisan, mix and then let rest for few minutes before serving.
