Step 1

• Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage* and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes. • Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate, keeping as much oil in pan as possible.

Step 2

• Meanwhile, wash and dry produce. • Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Zest and quarter lemon. • In a medium pot, combine 4 cups water (7 cups for 4) and stock concentrates. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. (You’ll use the simmering stock in step 4.)

Step 3

• Melt 1 TBSP butter in pan used for sausage over medium heat. Add shallot and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

• Add rice and ½ cup stock to pan with shallot. Bring to a simmer and cook, stirring, until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock—adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has absorbed—until rice is al dente and risotto is creamy, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less liquid.

Step 5

• Once risotto is done, stir in sausage, peas, half the Parmesan, 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season generously with salt and pepper.

Step 6

• Divide risotto between bowls. Top with lemon zest and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
