Chop garlic and onion.

Turn the heat up to number nine and add a couple of tablespoons of olive oil.

Add garlic and onion to the pot and gently brown them off.

Once they start to brown, turn the heat down to number seven and add the hotdog sausages.

Add a chopped meat stock cube and a bit of water to dissolve it.

Add about a teaspoon of sweet paprika and mix well.

Add tomato sauce and salt, then bring to a boil.

Once boiling, add rice and frozen peas evenly.

Stir and bring back to a boil.

Cover the pot with a lid, leaving a little gap, and reduce the heat to number six; cook for about 15 minutes.

Stir the mixture every five to ten minutes to prevent sticking.

After 10 minutes, check the rice and stir again.

After another five minutes, check if the rice is done; if so, turn off the heat.

Let it rest for five to ten minutes to thicken or serve immediately as a risotto.

Dish it up and enjoy.
