Ingredients

  • 1 ¼ cups of white rice
  • 2 tsp olive oil
  • 1 12 oz package smoked sausage sliced
  • 1 red pepper sliced
  • 1 yellow onion sliced
  • 4 cloves of garlic crushed and minced

  • 5 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp cumin
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 green onions chopped

Instructions

  1. In a rice cooker (or prefered way to make rice) cook your rice. I recommend making your rice ahead of time, so that it is cold when you start the dish.
  2. Place a large pan over medium heat. Once the pan is hot enough, add oil. When oil starts to heat up, add sausage and cook until browned on both sides
  3. Remove sausage from pan and set aside.
  4. In the same pan, add peppers and onions and saute for 5 minutes. Next add the garlic, salt, pepper and cook for about 1 minute.
  5. Remove veggies and set aside with the sausage.
  6. Add tomato paste and ¾ cup of chicken broth, whisk to combine. Let mixture come to a simmer, then add paprika, cumin, and cayenne.
  7. Stir in rice, sausage, peppers, onions, bay leaves and remaining broth. Stir until well combined, then serve with green onions sprinkled over the top.
