Method

Heat half the oil in a large casserole dish over a medium heat. Add the sausages and fry for 10 mins until crispy and cooked through. Remove from the pan and cut into thick slices.
Add the remaining oil, onion and garlic to the pan. Fry for 8-10 mins until the onion is softened. Add the grated carrot and the rice and cook for 1 min before adding a ladleful of hot stock. Cook, stirring continuously, until the stock has been absorbed, then add another ladleful. Continue to cook like this for 15-18 mins until all the stock has been absorbed and the rice is al dente.
Stir through the sliced sausage, lemon juice, half the parsley and the Cheddar and season to taste. Scatter with the remaining parsley to serve.
