Method
step 1
Skin the sausage then cut into chunks, about the size of walnuts, and roll them into balls. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy pan, add the sausage and brown it well. Add the onion and cook until it is just softening. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, add the rice and stir to coat it in the juices. Add the wine a little at a time, stirring continuously and only adding more when the last lot has been absorbed.
step 2
Now add the stock, a ladleful at a time, stirring continuously. It will take about 25 minutes to stir it all in. After about 15 minutes, add the radicchio and stir.
step 3
Taste before seasoning, stir in the butter and parmesan, then serve with a little extra parmesan on the side.
