Risotto Alla Pilota (lombardy)
  1. In a pot, bring 1000 ml (4¼ cups) of water to a boil.

  2. Add the rice slowly. Don't stir — just let it sit until it barely peeks above the water.

  3. Cover the pot, leaving a small gap. Boil gently for 8 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a wide pan.

  5. Flatten the sausage by hand and cook it in the hot butter. Let it brown and stick a little — that's flavor.

  6. After 8 minutes, remove the rice pot from heat.

  7. Wrap the pot lid in a clean kitchen towel and seal the pot tightly. Let the rice steam for 10 minutes.

  8. Once the sausage is cooked through, break it up by hand — even if it's hot. It gives the best texture.

  9. Fluff the rice with a fork — it should be moist, separate, and tender.

  10. Mix the rice with the sausage and lots of grated Grana Padano. Stir well and serve warm.
