Equipment

  • Large skillet.
  • Sharp knife
  • Cutting board
  • Wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb SMOKED SAUSAGE
  • 1.5 cups LONG GRAIN WHITE RICE
  • 1 medium ONION
  • 1 large BELL PEPPER
  • 3 cloves GARLIC
  • 3 cups CHICKEN BROTH
  • 1 tbsp CAJUN SEASONING
  • 1 tbsp OLIVE OIL

Instructions
 

  • Place your skillet on the stove. Turn the heat to medium-high. Add a little oil to the pan.
  • Add the sliced sausage to the hot pan. Brown the meat for five minutes. Remove the sausage and set it aside.
  • Add the chopped onions and peppers now. Cook them until they are soft. This takes about four minutes.
  • Stir in the garlic and the rice. Toast the rice for one minute. This makes the rice taste nutty.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and spices. Add the sausage back into the skillet. Stir everything together one time.
  • Turn the heat down to low. Put the lid on the skillet. Simmer for eighteen to twenty minutes.
  • Turn off the heat when rice is soft. Let it sit for five minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork.

Notes

  • Use a heavy lid to trap the steam.
  • Do not stir the rice while it simmers.
  • Brown the sausage well for extra flavor.
  • Rinse your rice to remove extra starch.
  • Use low-sodium broth to control the salt.
  • Cut vegetables into even sizes for cooking.
  • Let the dish rest before serving it.
