One Skillet Sausage and Rice

Serves 4

Ingredients:

• One package chicken sausage sliced (Andouille is best).  I got mine from Aldi!
• 2 tbs tomato paste
• 2 cups brown or white rice
• 1 carton chicken broth or stock
• 1/2 cup frozen peas
• 1/2 cup frozen mixed peppers (fresh are fine too!)
• 1 onion (diced)
• 1/3 cup frozen corn
• 1 tsp cumin
• 1 tbs Old Bay seasoning
• 1 tsp tumeric (optional: for color)
• 1 tsp salt (more to taste)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Oil for skillet (any oil works!)

Instructions:

1. Heat large skillet over medium heat with oil coating thinly coating the bottom.
2. Add sliced sausage to pan and cook until brown.  Remove and set aside.
3. Add a little more oil and add in onions.  Cook for 3-5 minutes or until onions get slightly translucent.
4. Add in frozen peas, peppers, corn, and garlic. Stir until garlic becomes fragrant.
5. Add in rice, cumin, Old Bay, tumeric, salt, tomato paste, and chicken broth.   Stir and bring to a simmer.  Once it’s simmering, turn the heat to low and cover.  Let it cook for about 20 minutes or until rice has absorbed all the liquid.
6. Add sausage back into skillet, mix, and serve!
