One Pan Smoked Sausage and Red Rice Skillet
Ingredients
- Avocado or olive oil
- 1 12 ounces box smoked beef sausage, or your favorite variety, sliced
- 1 white onion quartered.
- 1 red bell pepper cored.
- 1 yellow bell pepper cored.
- 2 cloves of garlic pressed through garlic presse
- Salt
- Black pepper
- 3 ounces about half of a tin! tomato paste
- 1 cup chicken broth/stock
- 4 cups cooked rice I use white basmati rice
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf Parsley
Instructions
- A large cast-iron skillet, or heavy bottom braising/Dutch-oven-style pan, should be placed over medium-high heat. Once the skillet/pan is hot, drizzle in approximately 1 tablespoon oil. Once the oil shimmers, add the sausage and let it sit for a few moments to allow it to brown on the first side.
- Next, turn the sausage over so it browns on all sides. Finally, use a slotted spoon to remove the sausage from the pan and place in a bowl.
- In a skillet/pan, place the sliced onion and the yellow and red bell peppers. Cook for 3-4 minutes. Then, add the garlic and a few pinches salt and pepper to the pan and stir to combine.
- When the garlic is fragrant, take everything out of the pan and put it aside along with the sausage.
- Turn down the heat and add a bit more oil. Stir in the tomato paste, along with about 1/2 cup chicken broth/stock. Allow it to simmer for 15-30 seconds to extract the tomato paste's raw flavor and soften it.
- Stir in the rice, then add the tomato broth to the bowl.
- Mix the remaining broth/stock with the sausage, charred onions, and peppers back into the skillet. Stir to combine all the ingredients.
- Stir in the chopped cilantro, parsley, and finally check for salt and pepper. (If you prefer it spicy, you can add red pepper flakes).
