risotto with sausage and cranberry beans, make risotto , you absolutely must use a specific type of rice called arborio rice (carnaroli and vialone nano are also used, some say superior, but are more difficult to find). these types of rice release starch when stirred in a liquid; it is this process which makes risotto, otherwise you just have a starchy mess of mush. these types of rice are identified by their fat round grains and pearly appearance. they can be used to make other sorts of rice dishes, such as pilaf, but other types of rice cannot be used for risotto. arborio is no longer that much of a specialty product; it can be found in most large, well-stocked grocery stores in the italian section. or sometimes, misguidedly, in the asian section., okay , so now we have the rice. you will also need some good, low-salt stock or broth - it should be low-salt not for health reasons, but because a good deal of it will evaporate, leaving its salt behind, and i like to have more control over the salt in a dish. it can be homemade, but i m not going to be a snob about it because, in truth, we go through gallons of store-bought stock in this household and i don tsp see that changing anytime soon. furthermore, risotto is actually a dish which can be whipped up out of thin air when it seems as though you have nothing to eat, as long as you have butter, rice, stock, maybe a few herbs, and some leftover parmesan. i like the kind of stock purchased in tetrapak cartons, because they are resealable and can be put in the fridge and used as needed. if you really want to use homemade but you don tsp have time to make stock or don tsp like the aroma of roasting bones in your house (i don tsp blame you), you can buy really great stock at north market poultry and game - it is expensive, but can be diluted with a 2- or 3-to-1 ratio of water to stock, so it stretches. my general guideline is to plan on 1/4 cup dry rice per person, and about 4 cups of stock to 1 cup of rice. of course, this isn tsp exact and will vary depending on your elevation and the phases of the moon, but it s a good place to start. i usually just use 4 cups of stock and then dilute with water or wine (or sometimes beer, if that s all i have) if i feel i m going to run out., well, we have rice and stock covered, now we just need our setup: place the stock in a saucepan on your rear burner, bring to a simmer, and leave it there with a 6-8 oz ladle in, and place a large, wide saute pan (must be really large, plan that your rice will at least quadruple in size) or dutch oven on the burner in front. get out your favorite wooden spoon and flex your stirring arm., nice thing about using sausage is it s so full of flavor you can leave out the usual onion/garlic/shallot/celery nonsense if you re tired and don tsp feel like chopping. furthermore, sausage goes from the freezer to the pan without suffering too much. okay, let s go, risotto with sausage and cranberry beans - serves 4, links italian sausage , or 1 lb bulk (or hot, or a combination - definitely with some fennel), casings removed, cooked cranberry beans or 1 can white beans, drained, arborio rice, beef , chicken or vegetable stock, butter, freshly, finely grated parmesan cheese , plus more for garnish, an oz) flat-leaf parsley, chopped finely, lemon juice , or juice from 1/2 lemon, salt and black pepper to taste, red pepper flakes to taste, optional, good balsamic vinegar , optional

white marrow beans (or other white beans), cooked and cooled, 1 cup cooking liquid reserved, olive paste, minced fresh thyme leaves , plus 6 sprigs fresh thyme, for garnish, optional, extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling, gray salt, fresh ground black pepper, thick italian bread, garlic, peeled

chicken broth, white cannelini beans drained and rinsed, garlic, 4 crushed and 2 minced, dried basil , and oregano, bay leaves, fresh grated parmesan plus a 4 inch piece of the cheese rind, sea salt to taste, cooked shredded chicken, ground veal, italian bread crumbs, egg beaten, fresh escarole,washed, ditalini pasta cooked and drained, sliced italian bread rubbed with a cut glove of garlic and toasted, olive oil

chicken breast for every 2 people being served. i usually use boneless/skinless for this unless i am going to cook them over a wood fire. then i would use skin on and bone in, thick cut bacon (apple smoked or maple will add another flavor level). choose a bacon that you love the taste of., amounts of the vegetable you use depend upon how many people you are feeding . for only 2 i would use 1/2 of each color of bell pepper for example. for 8 i would probably use a whole or nearly whole bell pepper., red, green, yellow, orange bell peppers, cored , seeds removed, sliced into strips., vidalia onions (sweet and mild ) or red onions (zing) cut into strips, yellow and green squash cut slightly thick then in half, asparagus cut into 1 1/2 inch bites, grape tomatoes, garlic cloves left whole for now, mushrooms (your favorite type , of course!), fresh green beans, broccoli and cauliflower can be used too; but make them bite sized pieces, olive oil (have at least a cup or two available depending on how many you are cooking for. you need this to roast the vegetables and for making your croutons!), day old french or italian bread cut up into good sized bites, bigger than what would come in a box of croutons, i cut it up 1 1/2 to 2 inches., fresh grated parmesan or romano cheese, garlic granules , fresh cracked pepper, italian seasonings...or fresh marjoram, basil and thyme, (cut up the basil into small bits), some times i ll add some peas and corn to this as well. also optional would be a couple of boiled eggs..., kosher salt and fresh cracked black pepper (white pepper could be added, but it is going to add a significant jolt in the heat/pepper pop department!)
