Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound sausage (Italian or your favorite) Choose your preferred type of sausage.
  • 1 cup long-grain rice (white or brown) Rice options can vary depending on personal preference.
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 piece bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by chopping your onion, bell pepper, and mincing the garlic. Have everything ready to go!
Cooking
  1. In a large pot or skillet, brown the sausage over medium heat, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon until it’s fully cooked. Drain excess fat if necessary.
  2. Stir in the chopped onion and bell pepper, cooking until they are softened (around 3-4 minutes). Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
  3. Add the rice, chicken broth, diced tomatoes, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
  5. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork, garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy!

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. When reheating, add a splash of water or broth to keep it moist and flavorful.
