Prep Time 20 minutes
Servings 6

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 lb mild italian pork sausage (cut into ½ inch slices)
  • 1 yellow onion
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • sea salt and ground pepper to taste
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth (or vegetable)
  • 2 cups minute rice
  • fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet.

  2. Add pork sausage to to skillet and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, or until nicely browned.  Be sure to stir frequently while cooking to ensure all pink spots are cooked.

  3. Remove sausages from skillet and set aside (its best to use a slotted spoon so the grease drips back into pan).

  4. Add remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to skillet.

  5. Stir in chopped onions and peppers.  Season with salt and pepper and cook for about 4 minutes until veggies have softened up a bit.  Stir occasionally.

  6. Add garlic to pan and coninue to cook for 1 more minute. (I buy jars of already minced garlic - such a timesaver)

  7. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil.

  8. Stir in rice (minute rice for quick cooking) and cooked sausage.

  9. Turn down the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook for 5 minutes.

  10. Remove skillet from heat and stir.  The rice should be cooked and fluffy.

  11. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top of sausage rice mixture and serve immediately.  So good and so nourishing.
