In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and saute onion, bell pepper and parsley until onion is clear. Stirring, add the tomato sauce, garlic, mint and wine, then add rice, hot sauce, smoked sausage and enough water to cover the rice by about 1 inch.

Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 1 hour; don't lift the lid until it has been simmering for 45 minutes.
This makes a red jambalaya.
