Ingredients

  • Olive Oil for frying
  • 2 Red Onions peeled and sliced
  • 1 Red Pepper deseeded and chopped into rough dice
  • 1 Orange Pepper deseeded and chopped into rough dice
  • 6 Chestnut Mushrooms washed and quartered
  • 4 Garlic cloves finely sliced
  • 6 Pork Sausages
  • 1 tbsp Smoked Paprika
  • 300 g Long-Grain Rice
  • 150 ml White Wine
  • 750 ml Chicken Stock
  • 4 Spring Onions trimmed and sliced
  • 10 in Small Plum Tomatoes cuthalf
  • Small bunch Flat Leaf Parsley roughly chopped
  • Salt and Pepper

Instructions

  • Add a good splash of oil to a heavy-based casserole dish and fry the onion for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured. Add the peppers, mushrooms and garlic and cook for a further 2 minutes. Slice the sausages to remove the skin and tear the meat in to chunks and put into the pan, then cook over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes. Add the paprika, the salt and pepper and stir.
  • Add the rice and mix thoroughly to absorb the flavours. Ad the wine and deglaze the pan ensuring you scrape any flavor from the bottom of the pan. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and then cook gently for 15-20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has almost all been absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and stir in the spring onions, tomatoes, parsley and serve.
