Ingredients with Measurements:
- 1 cup Arborio rice
- 4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 onion, diced

- 2 tbsp butter

Step-by-step instructions:
1. In a large saucepan, heat the chicken or vegetable broth over medium heat until it simmers. Keep it on low heat.
2. In a separate saute pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
3. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for another 2-3 minutes until they are tender.
4. Add the Arborio rice to the saute pan and stir it with the onion and mushroom mixture until the rice is coated with the butter.
5. Pour in the white wine and stir until the liquid is absorbed.
6. Add a ladleful of the simmering broth to the rice and stir until the liquid is absorbed. Repeat this process, adding one ladleful of broth at a time, until the rice is cooked through and creamy.
7. In a separate pan, cook the sliced Stadtwurst sausages until they are browned on both sides.
8. Once the risotto is cooked, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper to taste.
