Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 ounces smoked sausage
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 3 pieces garlic cloves
- 14 ounces diced tomatoes (canned)
- 15 ounces red kidney beans (canned)
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup white rice (uncooked)
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 2 cups water
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Slice the smoked sausage into 1/4-inch rounds and add them to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned. Remove the sausage and set aside.
Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic. Add them to the same skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and fragrant.
Stir in the diced tomatoes with their juices, rinsed and drained kidney beans, chicken broth, paprika, dried thyme, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to combine the flavors.
Return the cooked sausage to the skillet and mix well.
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.
Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and serve it on plates or in bowls topped with the sausage and bean mixture.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
