Method

  1. 1.
    Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced. Heat oil in a large oven-proof casserole pan over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, turning occasionally, for 10 minutes or until browned and cooked through. Transfer sausages to a plate.

    Add butter to casserole pan and melt over medium heat. Add leeks and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes or until softened.
  3. 3.
    Meanwhile, pour stock into a medium saucepan and heat over a medium heat until gently boiling.
  4. 4.
    Stir rice through leek mixture. Add hot stock and bring mixture to the boil. Slice sausages and stir through rice mixture. Cover and bake for 15-20 minutes or until liquid has evaporated and rice is tender.
  5. 5.
    Stir through parmesan and peas. Season with salt and pepper. Stand for 5 minutes or until peas are heated through. Serve risotto sprinkled with extra parmesan and chopped parsley.

General Information

There is a wide range of pork sausages available.  We used pork and fennel – they are perfect in this risotto.
