Sausage and Tomato Risotto

Image
Risotto is not nearly as complicated as some would have you believe. Truth is, as long as you keep stirring, you're gonna have a delicious meal. Cheesy flavorful rice with whatever proteins you desire. One of the most filling meals you will ever have. Try experimenting with other proteins and stocks to find the combination you're looking for, and as always, send me any questions you have. Enjoy! Ingredients: 1 28 oz can whole tomatoes 3 cups water 1 Tbs olive oil 1 package hot Italian sausages (or sweet if that's your fancy) 1 small onion, chopped Salt and pepper 1 cup arborio rice 1/2 cup dry white wine 1 bunch flat-leaf spinach (10-14 oz) 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese 2 Tbs butter Instructions : In a small pot, combine the can of tomatoes (with juices) with 3 cups of water.

Source: That Dog on the Internet Ever since launching the Twitch stream cooking show , my buddy Shampoodler AKA Shamp has been a stalwart follower and honest critic of the stream and, more importantly, the recipes.

For me, I wanted measurements I can tweak and improve moving forward, and wanted to present something for viewers and followers of the blog to try at home. So I tweaked his recipe just a bit to incorporate some actual measurements and a roux. But on the whole, this is VERY similar to the Shamp original. I'm also including quick instructions for the simplest and BEST garlic bread.
