Method
Make it happen
- 01
Heat oil in a deep lidded pot over medium-high heat.
- 02
Cook the main protein and vegetables in the order given below, using the same pot throughout.
- 03
Brown sausage chunks for 7 minutes, then move them to a plate while onion softens.
- 04
Add paprika with the garlic.
- 05
Return the browned sausage pieces to the pot before pouring in the stock.
- 06
Stir rinsed raw rice into the pot for 1 minute, then pour in the measured stock and bring to a simmer.
- 07
Cover and simmer over low heat for 12 minutes; avoid lifting the lid unnecessarily.
- 08
Add drained butter beans for the last 5 minutes of simmering; the browned sausages should already have been returned with the stock.
- 09
Continue covered for another 5–8 minutes until the rice is tender and liquid absorbed; add a splash of hot water if it dries out too early.
- 10
Check the protein is fully cooked and piping hot; rest covered off the heat for 5 minutes, fluff and serve.
