INGREDIENTS

1 ounce sun-dried tomatoes, without oil
1/2 cup boiling water
2 cups water
1 (14 1/2-ounce) can vegetable broth
1 teaspoon olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped green onion (including tops)
1 1/2 cups Arborio rice
1 cup dry white wine
1 teaspoon dried fennel, crushed; more for garnish
3/4 pound mild Italian sausage, cooked and chopped
3/4 cup Italian grating cheese
  Fresh fennel or basil for garnish
 



METHOD

Soak the tomatoes in hot water for about 30 minutes or until soft. Drain and chop coarsely.

In a medium saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the water and broth together; keep warm. In another medium saucepan coated with DuPont SilverStone® non-stick, heat the oil over medium heat and sauté the green onions for 2 minutes. Stir in the rice and sauté another 5 minutes. Add the wine and cook, stirring constantly for about 2 minutes until the wine is absorbed. Add the water and broth mixture one-half cup at a time, stirring continuously until the liquid is nearly absorbed. Add the tomatoes, fennel and cooked sausage, and stir until the liquid is finally absorbed. Remove from heat and stir in the cheese. Garnish and serve.
