The advantage of cooking your own meal is that you can plan in advance, cook what you like and when you like. I've been planning to combine the common rizotto with sausage for some time and a few days ago i finally managed to do it. The funny thing in this is that this combination is a product of my imagination. With the experience I have, it's easy to know what work and what doesn't.
Today I finally decided to share the recipe with you and was looking for a proper title. My problem is that I always have to translate the recipe titles from Hungarian to English and also have to check it it makes sense, to avoid posting stupid things. This was the reason why I ran a search and was surprised this recipe actually exists, but maybe not with the combination I used. I'm not going to check every recipe as that would mean going down the rabbit hole.
So here's my sausage rizotto, a very simple recipe, that is ready in half an hour, has just a few ingredients and it's not expensive either. It's perfect for lunch as well as dinner.
Ingredients for 4 servings:
- 400g sausage,
- 400g rice,
- 400g green peas,
- 1 big green or red pepper,
- 1 big onion,
- salt,
- pepper,
- 2 tbs olive oil.
Method:
Slice the sausage, finely chop the onion and pepper. Or you can slice those too, as you like. I prefer them finely chopped though.
Add 2 tbs olive oil to the pan, add the chopped ingredients, salt, pepper and sauté till the vegetables become tender. There's no need for more oil as both the pepper and the onion are leaving water.
What I love about this recipe is that is this colorful. The pepper adds a nice green color to it at this phase. This pepper is from the garden, was harvested in October and was among the last ones, before those cold, frosty nights settled in. It's a good feeling using a homegrown product though. By the way, the onion is also homegrown.
Here comes the trick for a nice, creamy rizotto. I like to cook the rice together with the vegetables or meat, depending on the recipe. So I added the rice and sautéed till the rice took up the moisture.
After that I added the frozen peas, water to cover and cooked till the rice was tender. Make sure to steer from time to time and add more water if needed. I don't like to add more water from the start as you don't know how much is needed. Before I used to cook the rice separately, which makes it easier as you add 3 times more water and it's done, but that way it will not be creamy.
And voilà, your creamy sausage rizotto is served!
If you're vegan, you can replace the sausage with any kind of vegetable. I don't like to kill my dish with too much spice, but you can add whatever spice or herbs you like.

When I saw this post I didn’t want to view it😂. I just know I will just wet my appetite without actually taking the food. If I may ask have you worked in a restaurant before??
Sorry for that, I should not post food photos late, when people are close to bedtime 😂
God no, I have not worked in a restaurant, this is all fake it till you make it, home learnt cooking, nothing more.
Wow You learnt all these at home. That’s great I really taught you worked in a restaurant or even owned one or something because from the looks of things the good you prepare would be very delicious😋
It's not rocket science, trust me. And there are way better jobs than cooking in a restaurant. I mean no offense, but it's not my area 😇

Good recipe @erikah! You're welcome.
Hello @erikah , without a doubt it will always be an advantage to cook your own food, besides I think that sometimes these are the meals that we enjoy the most.
congratulations
Hi @castm2 and thank you! I can't argue with that, it's the best way and the healthiest as well, as you know what you're eating.
This looks great and easy to make. Good recipe. Your dish looks very colorful. Very delicious 😄😋
I also going to make a nice Mac and cheese with sausage. Will post it over the weekend.👋👋
Thank you, indeed it is easy and delicious too. Mac and cheese is delicious as well, not to mention with sausage added. Yummy, so enjoy 😀
Looking forward to reading the post!
Hi @erikah! Your sausage rizotto looks great. I congratulate you.
Many thanks @tiaene, I'm glad you like it :)
Now this looks simply amazing. There's a Hungarian stand at a nearby farmer's market that sells something called "lecsó sausage", I think I'll get it soon and try out your recipe. Thank you so much for posting this!
Thank you and you're welcome! I hope you'll like the dish. "lecsó sausage" is good, just adjust the oil as it may be fat.
Wish you record a video and say Viola! after you cook. It's looking delicious ma'am. Can I taste?
Viola is a female name my friend 😁
No video on my behalf, but you can find several on YouTube.
And yes, you can taste it, you have a place at the table 😃
Voila! Why don't you correct me if you know the correct word hahaha
Thank you so much. It was really delicious. Please next time say Voila after you cook 😂
Next time I will 😏
Looks delicious and its funny how many dishes around the world are very similar to each other but with local variations. I cook fried rice with sausage, same recipe basically but different cooking technique.
Did you grow the peas too?
Indeed, there are so many varieties around from the world.
We don't grow peas anymore. We used to, but you need to be very careful and harvest exactly when it's time. We could not always help my dad in harvesting and it became difficult. The other thing that has contributed to stopping growing them is the type of peas. You buy seeds, they promise you the best quality, then when it's harvest time you see it's not what you wanted. So it's not worth it, rather buy it frozen.
Ma'am this food is really looking delicious. I can say without a doubt that the food was very tasty. Thank you so much ma'am for sharing this colourful recipe with us. Have a good day.
Thank you! It is delicious indeed, that's why I shared the recipe. You too have a good day.
Heyyy ! How are you? How's life ?
I just had my breakfast right now and saw your risotto post . Man that's so yummy! Did you ever try this with cheese? At first I thought this creamy texture came because of cheese.
It has grated cheese at the top, so yeah, I have tried it with cheese 😃
Gonna try this one day 😂
Don't hesitate 😂
Better sooner than later 😏
The sausage looks a bit different in a good way. The final result seems yummy 😋😋
This is not the usual fat sausage and that's why I like it. And it is yummy indeed :)
I see. We don't have anything like that here, quite interesting. Enjoy!
Looking so tasty 😋😋
It is so tasty 😜
Amazing food
Thank you!

Thank you!
This your rozitto makes sense honestly. I have not tasted such a meal in my life. Though is not part of our food here. Thanks for sharing your food with us
A lot of the dishes I make is not part of the food we have here, but that's the beauty of sooking at home. You can try out anything you want.
Okay, I will do just what you said when am ready
Bon appetit!
Thank you!
