A quick and hearty one-pan dish with savory sausage, tender rice, and vibrant vegetables, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb (450g) sausage (Italian sausage or your preferred variety)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 bell pepper, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas (optional)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Brown until fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the veggies begin to soften.
  4. Stir in the rice, ensuring it gets coated with the sausage and vegetable mixture.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, then add paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  6. Bring to a simmer, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid has absorbed.
  7. If using, stir in frozen peas and cook for another 3-5 minutes.
  8. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat on medium heat with a splash of chicken broth or in the microwave.
