How to make it
1
Remove sausage* from casing if necessary; discard casing.Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook, breaking up meat into pieces, until browned and cooked through, 5-7 minutes.Turn off heat. Using a slotted spoon, transfer sausage to a paper-towel-lined plate, keeping as much oil in pan as possible.
2
Meanwhile, wash and dry produce.Halve, peel, and mince shallot. Trim zucchini; grate on the largest holes of a box grater. Zest and quarter lemon.In a medium pot, combine 4 cups water (7 cups for 4 servings) and stock concentrates; bring to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. (You’ll use the simmering stock in Step 4.)
3
Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in pan used for sausage over medium heat. Add shallot and zucchini; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
4
Add rice and 1 cup simmering stock to pan with shallot and zucchini; stir until liquid has mostly absorbed. Repeat with remaining stock—adding ½ cup at a time and stirring until liquid has mostly absorbed—until rice is al dente and mixture is creamy, 25-30 minutes. TIP: Depending on the size of your pan, you may need a little more or a little less liquid.
5
Once risotto is done, stir in sausage, peas, half the Parmesan, 2 TBSP butter (3 TBSP for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice to taste. Season generously with salt and pepper.
6
Divide risotto between bowls. Top with lemon zest and remaining Parmesan. Serve with any remaining lemon wedges on the side.
