--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   1 1/2  c             Uncle Ben's converted rice
   2                    Pkg saffaron
   1                    Onion -- chopped
     1/4  c             Butter
   3                    Sausages (optional)
     1/4  c             Olive oil
     1/2  c             Cheese -- up to 3/4 c, grated
   1      qt            Chicken broth
     1/2  c             White wine
   2                    Boullion cubes

Melt butter in olive oil and sautee onion until golden. Remove
sausage meat from skin and crumble up and add to onions. Brown slowly
on medium heat. In a separate pot, heat chicken broth with boullion
and keep warm. Add rice to sausage mixture and mix well. Gradually
add broth to rice about 1-1/2 cups at a time and cook until broth is
absorbed. Continue this process until rice is cooked. Before the last
cups are added add the wine and saffaron and continue to mix so it
doesn't stick. When the rice is done, mix in 1/2 cup of grated
cheese. Serve hot with extra cheese on the side.

This is really not hard, give it a try. It can be a meal in itself or
a side dish. It's great for a buffet.
