Description
A flavorful one-pan meal featuring smoky sausage, rice, and vegetables, perfect for a quick dinner.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced (any color)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup frozen peas
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the diced onion and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Stir in the rice, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
- Stir in the cooked sausage and frozen peas. Cover and cook for another 5 minutes until the peas are heated through.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped parsley.
Notes
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or diced jalapeños when cooking the onions and peppers.
- You can substitute the smoked sausage with chicken or turkey sausage for a lighter option.
