Apple and walnut risotto. I think that might go well with the chicken and apple sausages I picked up from Granville island yesterday. I have a love/hate relationship with sausages. They always seem like a good idea until they're on my plate and I have a hard time remembering the last good one I had. But, as with all relationships, you have to keep trying to make it work until you find a sausage that's right for you.
As for the risotto, when done right, it's worth the effort. And that effort is usually a pain in the ass. Since I haven't just won, or recently been kicked off Hell's Kitchen, my risotto takes a lot of concentration and pots. I got pretty good at it when I started a few years back, but then got cocky (not part of the sausage metaphor...I'm done with that one) and tried to whip it up without much thought. As I said, when done right, it's worth the effort. When done badly, it's just crappy, expensive rice.
