Time 1h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 1/4 cups water
2 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
salt
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 lb smoked link sausage (quartered lengthwise and cut crosswise into 1/2 inch pieces)
1/2 lb okra, stems removed and thinly sliced
2 medium onions, chopped
1 medium green bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups chicken stock (or store-bought reduced-sodium broth)
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
6 scallions, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 4-qt. heavy saucepan. Add rice and 1/2 teaspoons salt and cook, covered, over low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered for 10 minutes, then fluff rice with a fork and keep covered.
  • Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoons oil in a 10-12 inch heavy skillet, preferably cast-iron, over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add sausage, in two batches, and cook stirring occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes per batch; transfer with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add okra to skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2-3 minutes. Transfer to another bowl.
  • Heat remaining tablespoons of oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot, but not smoking. Add onions and bell peppers and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add okra, stock, remaining 1/4 cup water, 1 teaspoons salt, and pepper, bring to a simmer, and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally until liquid is slightly thickened and reduced to just below surface of solids, 10-12 minutes.
  • Stir in sausage and toss with rice , scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not a huge fan of okra, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sausage and rice were so flavorful that I didn't even notice the okra.

I made this dish with brown rice and it turned out great! The rice was still fluffy and flavorful, and the dish was just as delicious.
