Balsamic Roasted Tomatoes and Italian Sausage Risotto

So this risotto was supposed to be made with soft chorizo, but my dad couldn't find any when he went grocery shopping so we used hot italian sausage. Because of the change in sausage, the risotto turned out a little different than would have been expected, but still very delicious.

I'm not even a big fan of tomatoes, but balsamic roasted tomatoes are one of the tastiest things I've ever had! I wish I'd put twice the amount in than I did!

The key to cooking risotto is patience, medium heat and the right amount of liquid. Really let the arborio rice absorb the liquid. Give it a good stir every time you put more liquid in.

My dad really liked it and since chorizo sausage is about the only kind of sausage you can find in Mexico City, he's asked for the recipe so he can make it the 'proper' way! Lucky!
