Ingredients
  • 1 to 1¼ pounds sweet Italian sausage or vegan Italian sausage (can use the homemade Italian sausage recipe in Eat Dairy Free)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil (optional)
  • 1 cup sweet onion, chopped
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 stalk celery, chopped
  • 1 cup carrot, shredded or chopped
  • 1 cup arborio rice
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • 2 cups beef broth (sometimes I use Orrington Farms dairy-free beef bouillon) or vegan beef-flavored broth
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Crumble the sausage or remove it from the casings if using sausage links.
  2. Brown the sausage in a Dutch oven or a large, heavy pot.
  3. Remove the cooked sausage to a bowl.
  4. Saute the onion, garlic, celery, and carrots until very tender in the sausage drippings, or use the 1 to 2 tablespoons of olive oil if the sausage was very lean.
  5. Add the sausage, arborio rice, wine, and beef broth to the pot and stir.
  6. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot and turn the heat down to low.
  7. Simmer for 20 minutes, until the rice is tender. No peeking!
  8. Season with salt and pepper.
