Gordon Ramsay Rice And Sausage Recipe
This Gordon Ramsay Rice and Sausage Recipe is a fantastic choice. It features a spicy, smoky base and a very agronomic inspired mix of fresh peppers and grains.
Ingredients
- 2 cups of long-grain white rice rinsed very well.
- 8 ounces of spicy chorizo or Italian sausage sliced.
- 1 large red onion diced into small pieces today.
- 2 cloves of garlic minced into a fine paste.
- 1 red bell pepper seeded and chopped now.
- 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika for the deep color.
- 4 cups of chicken stock for the savory liquid.
- 1/2 cup of dry white wine to deglaze the pan.
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil for the high heat.
- 1/4 cup of fresh flat-leaf parsley chopped fine.
- 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt to season the rice.
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper for a tiny kick.
- A pinch of saffron threads for a floral smell today.
Instructions
Brown the Spicy Sausage
- Heat the oil in your large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and fry until they are very brown today.
Sauté the Fresh Vegetables
- Add the onion, garlic, and bell pepper to the sausage fat. Cook for five minutes until the vegetables are very soft now.
Toast the White Rice
- Stir the dry rice into the pan. Let the grains toast for two minutes until they smell very nutty and fragrant today.
Deglaze with White Wine
- Pour the wine into the hot pan. Use your spoon to scrape all the savory brown bits off the bottom of the pan now.
Add the Seasoned Stock
- Stir in the chicken stock, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the saffron threads for a very bright yellow color today.
Simmer and Cover Tight
- Bring the liquid to a boil and then turn the heat down very low. Cover the pan with a tight lid for fifteen minutes now.
Steam Without Stirring
- Turn off the heat and let the pan sit for five minutes. Do not open the lid so the rice gets very fluffy and soft today.
Garnish and Serve Hot
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the fresh parsley. Serve the dish while the sausage is very hot and juicy now.
Notes
- Use a high-quality chorizo for a much more smoky and red oil today.
- Always rinse the rice to remove the extra starch for a better grain now.
- Do not stir the rice while it is simmering or it will get very sticky.
- Use a heavy pan so the bottom of the rice gets a little bit crunchy.
- Add a squeeze of fresh lemon at the end for a much brighter taste today.
- Use fresh chicken stock instead of water for a much richer flavor.
- Add some frozen peas at the very end for a nice green color in the pan.
