Roadmap:

1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot over medium high heat. Add sausage. Sear until golden. Remove & set aside.
2. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add onion, salt, pepper & paprika. Cook for 2 minutes. Add bell peppers & garlic. Cook for another 2 minutes.
3. Add rice, chicken stock, tomatoes and the sausage. Stir, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low so it’s simmering very gently.
4. Cover with lid, cook 20 minutes.
5. Remove pot from stove. Remove lid, add scallions, olives & feta, then put the lid back on. Rest 5 minutes.
Sprinkle with parsley, use a fork to fluff & combine ingredients.
