1. Smoked sausages – Any smoked sausage will work here. They are well seasoned so they leech a ton of flavour into the oil which then flavours the whole dish.
Raw sausages – Even raw sausages will work because they too leave a ton of flavour in the pot! You can’t really slice them though because the meat is raw and squishy, so just cut into small chunks. They end up looking like mini meatballs – it’s so good!
2. Rice – Best made with long grain rice for this one pot cooking method because it’s the least sticky. Other rice types that work:
Basmati rice – same fluffy texture but you get the basmati aroma (which is lovely!)
Medium and short grain white rice – works perfectly but the rice is a bit stickier (that’s the way it is) so don’t expect the same rice texture you see in the video (it will clump a little more).
Jasmine rice – reduce water by 1/4 cup (water to rice ratio is lower, see here for cooking plain jasmine rice).
Recipe won’t work as written for: brown rice, paella or risotto rice, wild rice, quinoa or other speciality rices. I’d need to figure out liquid/rice ratios and bake times.
No need to rinse rice first unless you’re concerned about rice cleanliness (rice in packets at grocery stores should be fine, I never rinse). If you rinse, reduce stock by 2 tbsp (roughly the amount of water that will cling to the rice after rinsing).
