These are my basic sausage and rice ingredients.
1. Sausages
Leftover sausages from bbq is best for this recipe.Alternative: Kransky or Chorizo.
How many sausages?
You can put as many sausages as you like as long as they can fit in the pot :)Sausages from bbq add some hint of smokey flavour to the rice.
2. Basmati Rice
I used basmati rice for its fluffy texture. Next best alternatuve is long grain rice.Short grain or medium grain rice tend to be a little on the soft side to my liking and tend to stick and clump together.
3. Wild Rice
I added wild rice to my sausage and rice, to give the dish some texture.I did not pre-cook wild rice as I prefer the crunch!
Otherwise do follow the instruction on the packet on how to cook wild rice.
4. Vegetable of choice
I used tomatoes and capsicum (bell peppers).5. Spices
For this sausage and rice recipe I only use mixed herbs and chilli flakes.I have added cumin before and the sausage rice tasted so good, like briyani!!
