One Pot Smoked Sausage and Rice

Category: Smoked Sausage

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves , finely minced
2 onions (medium), chopped (or 1 large)
1 yellow pepper , cut into 1″ squares
1 red pepper , cut into 1″ squares
16 oz smoked sausages , sliced 1/4" thick
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 cup long grain white rice , uncooked
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
2 cups frozen peas , thawed
2 Tbsp parsley , chopped (optional)


1. Heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon.
2. Add remaining 1 Tbsp oil. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add peppers and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
3. Add rice, chicken stock, paprika, salt, pepper and the sausage. Stir, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low so it's simmering very gently.
4. Cover with lid, cook 20 minutes.
5. Remove pot from heat. Working quickly, remove lid, add peas, then quickly put the lid back on. Rest 10 minutes...the residual heat will cook the peas.
6. Add parsley. Use a fork to fluff the rice. Serve immediately
