Riso con salsiccia e zucchine – Rice with Sausage and Zucchini

I usually cook rice with zucchini or rice with sausage, but I have to say that combining zucchini and sausage was a huge hit! First, I soaked the rice in water so it would release its starch. Then I washed the zucchini and peeled and crumbled the sausage. In a pan, I added a little oil and butter, then added 1 onion and 2 cloves of garlic, chopped into small pieces. After a few minutes, I added the crumbled sausage and browned it for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then I added the zucchini, sliced into rounds, and let them brown for about 15 minutes. I drained the rice and added it to the pan along with about 1 liter of broth. I cooked everything for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. When the rice is cooked, add Parmesan and butter, then stir and serve.

Buon Appetito!!
