Ingredients

  • 1 pound spicy sausage
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups long-grain rice
  • 1 can diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh cilantro, for garnish

Directions

  1. In a large skillet or pot, cook the sausage over medium heat until browned. Remove the sausage from the pan and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, sauté the onion, red bell pepper, and garlic until they are softened and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in the oil.
  4. Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper. Stir well to combine.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the skillet and simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and the liquid has been absorbed.
  6. Stir in the cooked sausage and let it heat through for a few minutes.
  7. Serve the Spanish rice and sausage hot, garnished with freshly chopped cilantro.
  8. Enjoy!
