Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper deseeded and chopped
  • 2 large garlic cloves thinly sliced into chips
  • 5 italian sausages, skin off
  • 1 cup (195 grams) uncooked long grain white rice I use basmati
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika Gordon uses "La Chinata" brand linked above
  • ½ teaspoon celery salt optional, my personal addition
  • ½ cup (125 milliliters) dry white wine
  • 2 cups (500 milliliters) chicken broth
  • 4 spring onions or green onions
  • 1 tomato chopped
  • 2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley

Instructions
 

  • Start by slicing the surface of the sausage links down the length of the sausage to remove the casing on the sausage. You'll get more flavor from the sausage by removing it's casing. Discard the casing. Do this with all of the sausage links.
  • Turn on the heat on your stove and heat the pan. Take your red onion and slice it in half, straight through the root (the 'hairy' or stringy part).
  • Take the onion with the cut side flat against the cutting board and with your knife thinly slice through the width of the onion. Do this with each half until you have thin rounded strips.
  • Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the sliced onions and fry them for about 5-6 minutes, until they've softened.
  • Take the red bell pepper and slice around the sides of it, leaving the core, along with its seeds, in tact in the center.
  • Dice the bell pepper, but not finely. It's going to be cooking for about 20 minutes in the pan, so you want it to have some texture after its cooked.
  • Add the peppers in the pan with the onions, give it a stir and begin peeling the skins off of the garlic cloves. 
    Once the skins have been removed, thinly slice the garlic cloves into chips.
  • Add the garlic in the pan and give it a good stir.
    Turn up the heat on your stove because when the sausage goes in, everything cools down and you'll end up boiling the peppers and the onions. While you turn the heat up, make a well in the center of the pan. Pushing the onions and peppers along the sides of the pan. 
  • Break apart the sausages into small pieces and add it into the pan. Begin stirring quickly and continue to do this until the sausage is browned.
  • Add in the paprika and season with celery salt. Mix to combine. Then mix the rice in and sear it for about 30 seconds. This helps the rice lock in the flavor. 
  • Add the white wine in to deglaze the pan. This also helps wash off the flavors stuck on the bottom of the pan into the rice.
  • Pour the broth in and bring it up to a boil. 
    Once it comes to a boil, turn it down and let simmer for about 12-15 minutes. Stirring occasionally. Keep an eye on it. 
  • Begin chopping a juicy red tomato, slicing 4 green onions, and roughly chopping some flat leaf parsley. 
  • When it's almost finished, the rice should be completely cooked and the liquid should be almost completely absorbed.
    Add the tomatoes and green onions in. Mix it and turn off the heat from the stove so they don't become overcooked. Add the flat leaf parsley and give it a stir. 
  • Enjoy!

Notes

This is a pretty meaty dish, so, if you prefer less meat, you could always use 3 or 4 links instead. 
If using grams/milliliters and plan on doubling the recipe, make sure you double the amount yourself. The measurements I have in parentheses do not double or triple with the recipe card calculations.
