Ingredients
Scale
Sausage and Rice Skillet Ingredients:
- 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
- Cook the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage, breaking it apart with a spoon as it cooks. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausage and set aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
- Add Rice and Broth: Add the rice to the skillet, stirring it to coat it in the sausage and vegetable mixture. Pour in the chicken broth and add the paprika, thyme, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Simmer the Dish: 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 been absorbed.
- Final Touches: Stir in frozen peas, if using, and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
