40 min4 servingsEasyCajun

Ingredients

  • 1 lb smoked sausage
  • 1,5 cups long-grain white rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cups red bell pepper
  • 1 cups yellow onion
  • 2 tbsp garlic
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp green onion

Instructions

  1. 1

    Brown 1 lb sliced smoked sausage in olive oil over medium-high until edges crisp, 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add onion and bell pepper; cook until softened, 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir in garlic, smoked paprika and rice, toasting the grains for 1 minute.

  4. 4

    Pour in chicken broth and bring to a boil, scraping the bottom.

  5. 5

    Cover, reduce heat and simmer 18 minutes until rice is tender and liquid absorbed.

  6. 6

    Rest 5 minutes off heat, then fluff and scatter with green onion.

Chef's tip

Resist lifting the lid while the rice simmers — trapped steam cooks the grains evenly and keeps them fluffy, not gummy.

Suggested pairing

An ice-cold amber lager cuts through the smoky richness.
