Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams sausage
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 1 large bell pepper
- 3 garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons parsley
Instructions
Begin by preparing the ingredients: slice the sausages into 1-inch pieces, finely chop the onion, dice the bell pepper, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or pan, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausages to the skillet, cooking until they are browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausages from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
Using the same skillet, add the chopped onion and diced bell pepper. Sauté the vegetables for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the peppers have softened.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, until fragrant.
Stir in 1 cup of white rice, allowing it to toast slightly for about 2 minutes by stirring it with the onions, peppers, and garlic.
Pour in 2 cups of chicken broth, then add the previously browned sausage back into the skillet. Stir in 0.5 teaspoons of salt, 0.25 teaspoons of black pepper, and 0.5 teaspoons of smoked paprika.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet with a lid and let it simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is fully cooked.
Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld together and the remaining liquid to be absorbed.
Fluff the sausage and rice mixture with a fork, garnish with 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley, and serve warm.
