Velvety steamed milk and espresso in classic proportions, paired with a warm buttery Sicilian brioche col tuppo.

Ingredients

  • 700g ground pork
  • 1 cup fresh lasagna sheets
  • 1 tbsp sliced leeks
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
  • a generous handful of carrots
  • a handful of fresh sage, chopped
  • Parmesan cheese, for serving
  • 400ml chicken stock
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • a generous handful of zucchini

Instructions

  1. 1

    Gather and prep the arborio rice and Italian sausage, measuring everything out so it is ready to go.

  2. 2

    Heat extra-virgin olive oil in a non-stick pan over medium heat until warm but not smoking.

  3. 3

    Add the sliced leeks and zucchini, cooking gently until softened, about 3-4 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in the Italian sausage, season with fennel seeds, and cook until just done, about 5 mins.

  5. 5

    Warm the arborio rice alongside, turning once, until heated through and lightly toasted.

  6. 6

    Plate the arborio rice and spoon the cooked mixture over the top.

  7. 7

    Drizzle with mascarpone and finish with a sprinkle of parsley.

Tips

Prep the arborio rice and Italian sausage the night before to make busy mornings much easier.

A squeeze of citrus or a sprinkle of parsley just before serving brightens up the whole plate.
