Sardinian risotto is a hearty rice dish prepared by cooking the rice in a flavourful ragu-style sauce, which gives the rice a deep, rich flavour. Try cooking twice the amount and using half to make arancini, or my Aubergine Rolls on page 144.

Instructions

Step 1

To make the sauce, heat the olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat, add the onion and gently sauté for a few minutes until softened. Add the mince or crumbled vegan sausages and fry for 10 minutes over a low heat until it has softened and slightly darkened. Pour in the wine and passata and stir, then simmer for 15 minutes.

Step 2

Heat some olive oil in a large saucepan over a medium heat. Tip in the risotto rice and stir, coating it in the oil and lightly toasting it for about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Add two ladles of stock into the rice and simmer until it has absorbed most of the liquid. Now add another ladle and repeat until you have used all of the stock.

Step 4

Now add the sauce mixture, stir and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring regularly, to make sure it doesn't catch on the base of the pan. Turn off the heat and leave to rest for 5 minutes.

Step 5

Sprinkle with Parmesan-style topping and serve.
