Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice is popular for a reason. It is quick, easy, and one of the best ways to spice up your everyday rice preparation. As a hardcore rice lover, I love experimenting with rice recipes, which led me to this dish.
Although there are endless rice recipes online, Gordon Ramsay’s Spicy Sausage Rice has to be my favourite. Sausage is cheaper than chicken, prawn, or beef, making me wonder why people are not discussing this recipe more. But I am glad you are here because I will give you the final push.
This one-pot recipe calls for no marination of sausages and basic kitchen staples without fancy technique or equipment. Rice is a globally consumed dish, so knowing how to make it will benefit you.
I love Gordon Ramsay’s version of this rice because I love recreating his recipes, and second, this is a unique combination of smoky and spicy flavours. Yes, it is easily customisable so you can play around with it. But before getting into the recipe, grab your apron and these pieces of equipment first.

- Pan: This Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice is a one-pan recipe, so I have it ready.
- Spatula: I am using a rubber spatula to toss and mix everything.

Expert Tips That I Recommend
- When I add the rice to the pan, I like to saute it nicely and mix everything for about a minute. It allows the rice to absorb the flavours and be well seasoned.
- While cutting the sausages is preferred, I also like to tear them with my fingers and add them to the pan. This fun little activity saves time and does not affect the cooking process at all.
- Another tip for cooking rice is to cook it at medium heat. High heat can cause the water to evaporate even before the rice is cooked. So, use medium heat to cook the rice perfectly, and it also gives the rice ample time to absorb the flavours.
- It’s essential to pick the correct type of rice for this recipe. I like to go for long-grain or jasmine rice. Avoid small-grain rice like sushi rice at all costs, as it cooks faster and creates a mushy and soggy texture.
- When I cook one-pot rice, I boil it to 70-80 percent and allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes. This method consistently yields fluffy, well-cooked rice.
- If this is your first time cooking sausages, you can use a meat thermometer to be confident about it. Insert a thermometer in the sausage; it is well cooked if it shows 165 degrees F. Piercing the sausage is another easy way to determine if it is cooked. If clear juices appear, then it is cooked. Also, the well-cooked sausage will be a little firm and look brownish in colour.

However, one of the good things about this recipe is that it is entirely soy, nut, gluten-free, and dairy-free. Hence, people following those diets do not have to follow any restrictions. On the other hand, people following vegan, vegetarian, and keto diets need to make specific changes first.
Recipe Variations For Different Diets
- Keto Diet: I make some alterations for my friends who follow a keto diet. First, I use cauliflower rice since it has fewer carbs. Also, I only use sausage, onions, celery, sage, butter, broth, salt, and pepper while making it.
Storing & Reheating This Recipe
Storing
- Countertop: After Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice is ready, I do not like leaving it on the countertop for over half an hour. Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice tastes the best when it is hot, so beyond this, it goes straight to the fridge for storage.
- Refrigeration: If I have any Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice leftovers, I let them cool down completely. Then, I pack them in airtight containers and store them for 3-5 months.
- Freezing: If you want to store Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice for longer, consider freezing it. Place it in freezer-friendly bags and store it for up to 3 months. To keep it convenient, I like to store it in serving sizes so that the rest of the rice is not affected while reheating it before consumption.
Reheating
- Skillet: Reheating Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice in a skillet is extremely easy. Heat oil in a pan and add your leftover rice. Give it a nice stir until it is warm enough. You can also add a little stock to add flavour and prevent the rice from sticking to the pan.
- Microwave: If you take Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice leftovers to your office, reheat them in a microwave. To do this, add the leftovers to a microwave-friendly bowl. Cover it with aluminium foil or a paper towel. You can add some water to prevent the rice from drying up. Heat it for 20-30 seconds at medium heat. Give it a nice stir once done, and if needed, follow it with 10-second increments until it is warm enough.
What To Serve With This Recipe
After your Gordon Ramsay Spicy Sausage Rice is ready, top it off with an Omelette or fried egg. If egg is not your preferred protein, have it with some Chicken Wings or Chicken Thighs on the side. I also don’t mind a well-cooked Steak on the side with this dish. But if all of this sounds very heavy, you can have it with a simple Salad on the side.
For more veggie options, you can have it with a Casserole or sauteed zucchini or asparagus. But all these side dishes call for some effort, so to keep it simple and cool, have a refreshing drink on the side.
