Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 14 oz (400g) smoked sausage, sliced into rounds
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper (any color), chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- 2 tablespoons honey
- Salt and pepper to taste
- A handful of chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Method
- Heat the Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add the olive oil.
- Cook Sausage: Add the sliced sausage to the skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the chopped onion and bell pepper. Cook for about 3-4 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
- Add Rice: Stir in the rice, ensuring it’s well-coated with the oil and vegetables.
- Combine Ingredients: Return the sausage to the skillet. Add the chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, honey, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Cook the Rice: Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Cover the skillet, reduce the heat to low, and let it cook for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the liquid.
