SAUSAGE AND RADICCHIO RISOTTO

SERVES 4

Reach for this risotto on a wintry night when you want something filling and rich, with radicchio that turns from bitter to bittersweet in the cooking. For me, Verona, a beautiful city in the north of Italy brimming with wonderful trattorias, is the best place to eat risotto. I always head for Trattoria al Pompiere, just off Piazza delle Erbe. Here, the risottos are for a minimum of two people and often have a seasonal twist. This recipe is inspired by the restaurant’s autumnal ‘risotto Amarone’, a Veronan classic that traditionally combines Amarone wine and radicchio.
