Breakfast Risotto

This savoury breakfast risotto offers a sophisticated twist on morning dining, combining the rich, comforting texture of slow-cooked arborio rice with the bold flavours of Italian sausage and aromatic saffron. It is a wonderful alternative to traditional egg-based dishes, providing a hearty start to the day that feels both indulgent and refined. The golden hue from the saffron and the brightness of fresh parsley make it as visually appealing as it is delicious.

As a high-protein breakfast option, this recipe is perfect for a leisurely weekend brunch or a post-workout recovery meal. The use of dry white wine and salty Parmesan adds a depth of flavour that pairs beautifully with the spiced sausage meat. Serve it piping hot in warmed bowls with an extra dusting of cheese for the ultimate savoury treat.
