Tomato, Sausage and Basil Risotto

We’ve used a clever cheat here by making meatballs from sausage, cutting down prep time for this rustic risotto. Fresh cherry tomatoes and basil bring vibrancy, while a hint of chilli perks it all up for one-pan comfort cooking in under an hour.

Add Stock

Add hot stock to pan, 250ml (1 cup) at a time, stirring continuously and allowing stock to be absorbed before adding the next cup, until all stock has been used, rice is al dente and mixture has thickened. This will take about 20 minutes. The rice should be creamy, but still retain some bite.
