Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 12 oz smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (uncooked)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp dried oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 tbsp 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional garnish)

Method
 

  1. Brown the sausage
    Heat olive oil in a large skillet or deep pan over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook for about 4–5 minutes until browned.
  2. Sauté vegetables
    Add diced onion and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 3–4 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add rice and seasoning
    Stir in the uncooked rice, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Pour in broth
    Add the chicken broth and stir everything together.
  5. Simmer
    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 18–20 minutes until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Add peas and finish
    Stir in frozen peas and cook for another 2–3 minutes until heated through.
  7. Serve
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
