Smoked Sausage and Rice – quick one pot meal
This Sausage and Rice Casserole is a quick one pot dinner recipe that punches way above its weight in terms of effort vs results. Smoked sausage is the trick! It adds a ton of flavour that’s absorbed by the rice. I’ve used kransky, but any type will do – kielbasa, chorizo, etc.
Ingredients:
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
5 garlic cloves , finely minced
2 onions (medium), chopped (or 1 large)
1 yellow capsicum , cut into 1.5cm / 1″ squares

400 g/ 14oz (~3) kransky or other smoked sausages , sliced 0.5cm thick / 1/4" thick

3/4 tsp smoked paprika (sub normal paprika)
1 1/2 cup long grain white rice , uncooked (Note 2 other rices)
