Units
Scale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 ounces smoked sausage, sliced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup long grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
- 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
- Salt to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage and cook until browned, about 4–5 minutes. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add onion and bell pepper. Sauté for 3–4 minutes until softened. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute more.
- Stir in paprika, oregano, and black pepper. Add rice and cook for 1–2 minutes, stirring to coat with the seasonings.
- Add chicken broth, diced tomatoes (with juice), and browned sausage. Bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
- Stir in frozen peas (if using) and let sit for 2–3 minutes. Taste and adjust salt as needed.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Use turkey or chicken sausage for a leaner option.
- Brown rice can be used but will require a longer cooking time and more broth.
- Customize with other vegetables like zucchini or corn.
