Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium yellow onion, diced
1 medium green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup long grain white rice, rinsed
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes, undrained
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced sausage and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned.
Add the diced onion and green bell pepper to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until softened.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the rinsed rice to the skillet and stir to coat with the oil and vegetables.
Pour in the chicken broth and diced tomatoes with their juice.
Add smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and cover with a tight-fitting lid.
Simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and liquid is absorbed.
Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.
Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in chopped fresh parsley before serving.
