Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links bratwurst sausages
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 1 medium, diced bell pepper
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bratwurst sausages and cook for 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides. Remove the brats and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Stir in the diced onion and bell pepper. Cook for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Add the rice, paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.
Return the browned bratwurst sausages to the skillet, nestling them into the rice mixture.
Bring the skillet to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy!
