Preparation

All ingredients should be hot while adding during the cooking process

Put rice in a large based pot and toast with some olive oil being careful not to let it burn.

When hot add the hot wine, do not stir the rice just shake the pot, allow the wine to absorb then add about 300mL of the stock at a time allowing it to absorb. Again, don’t stir the rice, just shake the pot.

After cooking for about 3-4 minutes add the garlic, chilli and the sausage.
Keep adding stock allowing it to absorb.

Continue cooking for about another 12 minutes making sure the rice doesn’t stick.
Add the peas and the puree and cook for about another 2 minutes, remove from the heat and add the butter and parmigiano mix it through taste and correct the seasoning,

delish!

I live around the corner from where the butcher on this show makes his pork and fennel sausages! Delish in this risotto! Yeah it would be good for the written recipe to actually match the video. But then again, it IS Italian food after all - it's all about the passion and not slavishly following the instructions! I watched the video and read the recipe to get the vibe of it. And it was yum! Interesting about the non-stirring technique - don't quite understand it myself but OK.

Recipe complaint

This recipe also has chilli and garlic oil which Alessandro did not use whilst making this dish, please SBS please ensure that the dishes that are made on your show you have the courtesy of putting the EXACT receipe on your website (and books). This reminds me of people who gives you a recipe of a dish that they have made and purposely leaves out an ingrediant or adds another ingrediant that they have not used so your version of their dish tastes different (or not as good) as theirs........

Recipe leaves out the onions (good for taste) or saffron threads (in the wine) or parsley leaves to finish. Episode never had any garlic or pea puree either. Jen - the brand of rice (1yr old aged) was Acqerello

If the recipe is different to the video - doesn't matter.. it's the technique we should be looking at.. do your own variations....

Quite frustrating that the video recipe and the written one are different. I did not see him add any pee puree and there is no saffron in the written receipe........ Other that that - fantastic food!

It would be good if the written recipe is the same as the procedures on the Video
