Directions
1 Heat a heavy-based saucepan over medium heat. Spray lightly with oil. Add onion and garlic. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes or until light golden.

2 Add rice. Stir to coat in onion mixture. Add 1 ladleful of hot stock, stirring until stock has been absorbed. Continue to add stock, 1 ladleful at a time, until all stock has been added and absorbed.

4 Stir sausages, tomatoes and parsley through rice mixture. Remove from heat. Cover. Stand for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon into bowls. Top with parmesan cheese. Serve.
