Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound soy-free sausage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, chopped onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 medium, chopped bell pepper
- 1.5 cups long-grain white rice
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the soy-free sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Break it into small pieces with a spatula as it cooks. Remove sausage from skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, minced garlic, and chopped bell pepper. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the rice and cook it for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until lightly toasted.
Pour in the chicken broth, then add thyme, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Return the sausage to the skillet. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice mixture with a fork and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
