Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoons olive oil
  • 14-16 ounce smoked sausage or kielbasa, sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 1/2 cups jasmine rice
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt if needed
  • 8 ounces frozen peas about 1 1/2 cups
  • 4 green onions sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the oil in a large, deep-sided skillet or Dutch oven over medium high heat. Add the sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage starts to brown and sear.
  • Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the broth, rice, onion powder, and pepper. Stir and bring to a boil.
  • Reduce the heat to low, maintaining a simmer, and cover with a lid. Cook for 18-20 minutes, until the rice is tender and all of the liquid is absorbed.
  • Remove from the heat and add salt to taste. Stir in the peas, green onions, and parsley.
  • Let the mixture rest for a few minutes before serving to heat the peas.

Notes

  • The amount of salt needed is going to depend on the type of broth you used, so taste as you go and adjust accordingly.
  • If you don't have jasmine rice you can use any long grain white rice. I don't recommend trying this with brown rice since it takes a long time to cook on the stove top and I'm not sure how much liquid you would need.
  • I've made this with ground sausage before too and it was great.
  • If you don't have peas or don't like them you can use whatever frozen vegetables you like or have on hand. Just give them a few minute to thaw or pop them in the microwave a few minutes to thaw before adding them in they are larger pieces.
