Olive oil
Margarine
3 red onions, chopped
3 cloves garlic, diced
1/2 cup rice
1 cup champagne
Pinch salt
1 package lamb chops
Parsley flakes
1 package sausages (snags)
1 package veal, sliced
1 tablespoon butter
8 mushrooms, sliced
1 (16-ounce) jar tomato sauce
Dried basil
Handful grated Parmesan cheese
3 to 4 scallions, diced

Steps:

Heat a heaping tablespoon of olive oil in a fry pan with 1 tablespoon of margarine and add onions. When the onions are slightly brown add the garlic and continue to stir. Add the rice to the pan, and pour in about 1 cup of champagne. As the rice begins to cook, add a pinch of salt and stir continuously.
Pour some olive oil on the lamb chops and sprinkle some parsley flakes on them. Then add the lamb and sausages to a hot grill and cook well on both sides.
Slice the veal and sear the pieces in a hot frying pan on both sides. Once cooked through, add the veal, chopped sausages and lamb chops to the rice mixture.
In a separate frying pan heat 1 tablespoon of butter and saute the sliced mushrooms. Once cooked, add them to the rice mixture.
Heat the tomato sauce in a pan and add 3 pinches of dried basil. Add the sauce to the rice mixture and sprinkle some Parmesan cheese over the top.
Finally cut up a bundle of scallions and sprinkle over the rice and serve.
