Gordon Ramsay Sausage Rice Recipe Ingredients

• 1 tbsp mild olive oil
• 1 red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 red bell pepper, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, very finely sliced
• 6 spiced sausages
• 1 heaped tsp smoked paprika
• 200g long-grain rice
• 90ml dry white wine
• 500ml chicken stock
• 4 spring onions, sliced
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• Small bunch flat-leaf parsley, chopped

How To Make Gordon Ramsay Sausage Rice Recipe

1. Sauté the Aromatics: Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pan over medium heat. Add the sliced red onion and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Add the chopped red pepper and finely sliced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.
2. Brown the Sausage: Squeeze the sausage meat from its casings directly into the pan. Increase the heat to high and cook for 4–5 minutes, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it is browned and slightly crispy.
3. Toast the Rice: Stir in the smoked paprika, followed by the long-grain rice. Stir for a minute to ensure the rice grains are fully coated in the oil and spices.
4. Deglaze and Simmer: Pour in the dry white wine and let it bubble, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Allow the wine to reduce almost completely.
5. Cook the Dish: Add the chicken stock and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook uncovered for 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
6. Finish and Serve: Fold in the sliced spring onions, chopped tomatoes, and fresh parsley. Check the seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed. Let it rest for 2 minutes off the heat, then serve hot.

Recipe Tips

• Why do I need a large pan? To properly brown and sear the sausage meat, it needs space. A crowded pan will trap steam, causing the meat to steam rather than fry, which means you’ll miss out on the deep, caramelized flavor.
• Does the quality of the wine matter? Yes. Use a dry white wine that you would be happy to drink. The wine adds a crucial layer of acidity and flavor that cooks into the rice, so a poor-quality wine can negatively affect the taste of the whole dish.
• Why let the rice rest before serving? Letting the dish rest for a couple of minutes off the heat after the liquid has been absorbed allows the rice to finish steaming and soak up the last bit of flavorful stock, ensuring a perfect texture.
• When should I add the fresh herbs? The fresh spring onions and parsley should be stirred in at the very end. This preserves their bright, punchy flavor and fresh texture, which would be lost if they were cooked for a long time.

What To Serve With Sausage Rice

This one-pan dish is a complete meal on its own, but it can be nicely complemented by:

• A simple green salad with a lemon vinaigrette
• A dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt
• Crusty bread for mopping up any juices

How To Store Leftover Sausage Rice

• Refrigerate: Cool the sausage rice completely and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat thoroughly in a pan or microwave.
