Easy One Pot Sausage And Rice

Print Recipe

A quick one-pot dinner recipe with smoked sausage, colorful bell peppers, garlic, onions, and rice that delivers big flavor with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1 yellow capsicum, cut into 1.5cm squares
  • 1 red capsicum, cut into 1.5cm squares
  • 400g smoked sausages, sliced 0.5cm thick
  • ¾ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp pepper
  • ¾ tsp smoked paprika
  • 1½ cups long grain white rice, uncooked
  • 2½ cups low sodium chicken stock
  • 2 cups frozen peas, thawed
  • 2 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large heavy-based pot over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
  2. Add remaining 1 tbsp oil, then garlic and onion. Cook for 2 minutes until fragrant. Add capsicum and cook for an additional 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
  3. Add uncooked rice, chicken stock, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cooked sausages. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Cover with lid and cook on low heat for 20 minutes.
  5. Quickly remove lid, add thawed peas on top of rice, then replace lid and let rest for 10 minutes off the heat.
  6. Remove lid, fluff rice with a fork, stir in chopped parsley if using, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Any type of smoked sausage works, including raw sausages cut into chunks which will cook through and deeply flavor the dish.
  • Long grain rice yields the best texture; basmati, medium or short grain white rice also work (reduce water by ¼ cup for jasmine rice).
  • Do not use brown, wild, paella, risotto rice, quinoa or specialty grains without adjusting liquid and cooking time.
  • Rinsing rice is optional; if rinsed, reduce stock by 2 tbsp to account for retained moisture.
