Apple Gouda Chicken Sausage and Corn Risotto

INGREDIENTS

Apple and Gouda Chicken Sausages (fully cooked), cut into small pieces

3 cups

vegetable or chicken broth or stock (stock is always better)

1 tbsp

olive oil

1/2

a bag of frozen corn, or preferred vegetable

Dried minced onion, or 1 small onion, diced

1/2 tsp

dried thyme (I don't measure)

2 cloves

garlic, minced (I used frozen cubes)

1 cup

arborio rice

1 tbsp

butter

1/2 cup

parmesan cheese (or a blend of hard cheeses, which mine was)

*I probably also added Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute to this. I tend to add it to almost everything.

**Traditionally, this recipe would replace 1/2 cup of the stock with 1/2 cup of dry white wine. I just didn't have any open since I'm pregnant.
