- Peel and chop the onion. Peel and crush the garlic.
- Add the onion, garlic and rice to the frying pan. Fry for about 3 minutes, until the rice is ‘glassy’. Keep stirring so that it does not stick.
- Measure out 375ml of hot water.
- Add the mushrooms, beans or peas, sweetcorn, stock cube, water, sauce and seasoning. Simmer very gently for about 12 mins until the rice is tender and all the water is absorbed. Ensure you are stirring so it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan.
- Stir the sausage meat into the rice.
- Serve hot or cold with a salad.
Chicken risotto: Make in the same way but use about 250 g/½ lb cooked chicken instead of sausages. Tips
- Try using different ingredients such as prawns or Mediterranean vegetables.

- Stir in the curry powder, ginger, spinach and fry for another minute.
- Add the chicken, fry until cooked and some salt and pepper.
- Add chopped tomato and chickpeas, stir in the pan. Bring to the boil, stirring. Then simmer for 20 mins, whilst cooking the rice.
- If you want a stronger tomato flavour, add 200ml water with a heaped tablespoon of tomato puree.
- Served on a bed of cooked rice.
Beef curry: Make in the same way but use 500 g/1 lb of stewing steak or mince instead of chicken. Cut into small pieces and brown in the oil before you fry the onions. Cook until the meat is tender, about 1½ hours.
Cooked chicken portions - add these at step 6, missing out stage 1 and 5.
Add any vegetables you have, either tin, frozen or fresh. Curry works well with any and adds a variation of colour.
