   1 1/2  cup           Rice (Uncle Ben`s converted)
   2      Pk            saffaron( can be found in
   1                    Onion chopped
                        Italian or Spanish section)
     1/2  Stick         butter
   3                    Sausages(optional)
     1/4  cup           Olive oil
     1/2  cup           grated cheese -- (1/2 to 3/4)
   1      quart         Chicken broth (canned o.k.)
     1/2  cup           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 med heat. In a
separate pot, heat chicken broth with boullion and keep warm. Add rice to
sausage mixture andmix 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.
