Step 1
Skin the sausage then cut into chunks, about the size of walnuts, and roll them into balls. Heat the olive oil in a wide, heavy pan, add the sausage and brown it well. Add the onion and cook until it is just softening. Add the garlic, cook for 1 minute, add the rice and stir to coat it in the juices. Add the wine a little at a time, stirring continuously and only adding more when the last lot has been absorbed.
