Put the butter in a large heavy skillet. Add the onions and pork and brown
slowly, stirring frequently. When the onions are slightly brown, add the ham
and garlic, then the thyme, bay leaves, parsley and cloves. Brown for 5
minutes more, then add the sausages. Cook for 5 more minutes and add the
beef broth. Cook 10 minutes more and add the rice, chili pepper, salt pepper
and cayenne, adjusting these spices to your taste. Let the mixture boil for
30 minutes longer, or until the rice is done, but still firm. Serve piping
hot! If you are not able to get sausage in your area, any good
quality kielbasa will be an adequate substitute.
