Sausage and Radicchio Risotto

Tonight we had Sausage and Radicchio Risotto from Luca Manfé's My Italian Kitchen. Wow! I watch Hells Kitchen all the time and risotto is one of the dishes that always resulted in someone to be called a "donkey" by Chef Ramsey. Yes I was a little nervous making this. And it is time consuming. You actually have to stand there and stir for at least 20 minutes. Well I solved the standing there for 20 minutes problem. The solution was to hold an Absolute Vodka and Soda while stirring. Worked out perfectly. By the time I finished my cocktail the risotta was cooked perfectly. Or as Chef Ramsey would say, "Spot On!"
