Sausage "Risotto" - Carreteiro De Linguiça

Ingredients

1 smoked German style sausage ("mettwurst")
2 tablespoons pork fat (or vegetable oil)
1 cup rice
salt to taste

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.
