Step 1

Add just 1 tbsp of Olive oil to a heavy-based casserole dish and fry the onion for 5 minutes until soft but not coloured.

Step 2

Add the pepper and garlic and cook for 2 minutes while moving it about so the garlic doesn't burn.

Step 3

Slit the sausage skins and crumble the sausage meat so it looks like small meatballs.

Step 4

Turn the heat to high (otherwise, the sausage will steam rather than brown). Cook while moving it about a bit in the pan for about 4–5 minutes until coloured.

Step 5

Add the smoked paprika and mix and season to taste.

Step 6

Add the rice and stir well to mix thoroughly and absorb the flavour.

Step 7

Now deglaze the pan by pouring in the white wine and scraping any bits stuck to the bottom.

Step 8

Add the stock and bring to the boil and then turn to simmer.

Step 9

Cook gently for 15–20 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid almost entirely absorbed.

Step 10

Keep an eye on it and stir from time to time.

Step 11

Remove from the heat, gently fold in the spring onions, tomato and parsley and serve.
