Ingredients




1 smoked German style sausage ("mettwurst")
2 tablespoons pork fat (or vegetable oil)
1 cup diced onions
1 diced garlic
1 cup rice
3 cups vegetable or chicken stock
salt to taste
1 diced hard boiled egg
diced parsley

Preparation

1 Chop the sausages in small irregular cubes (around 0,5 cm).    Add the sausage and fry it for another couple of minutes.       2 In a cast iron casserole lay 2 spoons of oil (originally pork fat – “banha”) and fry for a couple of minutes the diced onions and garlic. 3 Then, add the rice, fry it for one minute, pour the stock and salt to taste.  4 Now, leave the room!  Resist the temptation of stirring the rice like in a traditional risotto.  Let the low heat do its job.  Leave the lid a bit open giving room to steam.  Add water if needed. 5 When ready (rice al dente) remove from the heat, close the lid, and let the "carreteiro" rest for another couple of minutes.  The cooking processes should take around 15-20 min.  Remember, no stirring.  The rice should be loose but moist. 6 Serve with the freshly chopped parsley or spring onions and hard boiled egg.
