Baked Risotto with Spanish sausage, thyme and peas


This risotto is easy to make and you don't need to spend time stirring the pot and adding stock. Perfect for when you have people around as it feeds a big group easily and who doesn't like risotto?! Recipe served 4-6 people but you could double ingredients for a larger group.

You will need:
Olive oil
2 cloves garlic chopped finely
1 large onion chopped
1 and a half cups risotto rice
Half cup dry white wine
3 cups chicken stock heated
Thyme leaves removed from stems (I love thyme so use 10g)
1 pack spicy sausage (I used the Spanish sausage from Woolworths)
2 cups peas
Half cup Parmesan cheese
Half a cup of almonds (heat in pan till toasted)

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees and fry onions sausage and garlic in olive oil till cooked through and onion soft. Stir through risotto rice and the wine. Cook for about 1 min. Spoon the mixture into a large ovenproof dish and pour stock over. Cover with lid or foil and bake for 15 min. Give it a good stir, add cheese and the peas and put back in for 30min. Give a final stir and top with the toasted almonds.
