Saffron Risotto with Sausage
Any rice dish that is described as ‘milanese’ usually contains some saffron. Saffron rice is in itself a very delicate dish; the addition of luganega turns it into something rather more substantial. Luganega is fresh pork sausage that is sold by length (its name derives from the Greek ‘lukanika’). This typically Lombardian or Milanese product was usually made in the winter months when the household pig was killed, but nowadays it can be found all year round. It is made in a very long intestine 3cm (1 1/4 inch) in diameter. You can use coarsely minced fresh pork instead, so long as you season it well.
