Ingredients

1 1/4 cups white rice

12 oz smoked sausage, sliced

2 teaspoons olive oil

1/2 red bell pepper, sliced

1/2 yellow bell pepper, sliced

1 small white onion, quartered and sliced

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon kosher sea salt

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

5 tablespoons tomato paste

3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth

1 teaspoon paprika

1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

1 1/2 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Cook the Rice: Prepare the rice according to package instructions, or cook it in chicken broth for added flavor. Set aside.

  • Brown the Sausage: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage slices and cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Remove and set aside.

  • Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, sauté bell peppers and onion for 4-5 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and pepper, and cook for another minute.

  • Make the Sauce: Reduce heat, add tomato paste, chicken broth, paprika, and cayenne. Stir and simmer for 1 minute until thickened.

  • Combine Everything: Add cooked rice, remaining chicken broth, sausage, and veggies to the skillet. Stir and cook for 2-3 minutes on low heat to meld the flavors.

  • Serve: Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add extra veggies such as zucchini or spinach for more flavor.

  • Stir in shredded cheese for a creamy touch.
