Ingredients
  

Group: Ingredients
  • 1 lb. Italian sausage (mild or spicy)
  • 1 cup long-grain rice (preferably basmati)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 piece bell pepper, diced (red or green)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 2 cups chicken broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Equipment

  • Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot

Method
 

  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage, breaking it apart with a wooden spoon. Sauté until the sausage is browned, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Cook until soft and fragrant, around 3–4 minutes.
  3. Stir in the rice, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Make sure every grain of rice is coated in the drippings.
  4. Slowly add the chicken broth, stir gently, and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and has absorbed most of the liquid.
  5. Fold in the frozen peas, and let them heat through.
  6. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
