EASY SAUSAGE AND RICE



Easy Sausage and Rice image

My mom has been making this as long as I can remember. She found the original recipe on a box of rice in the 80's. She always served it as an entree but I make it as a side dish because it's not enough for my meat and potatoes man. You can spice it up by using hot sausage. Try it, you will not be disappointed.

SAUSAGE-AND-RICE TIMBALE



Sausage-and-Rice Timbale image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Kosher salt
2 1/2 cups arborio rice
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium onion, chopped
3/4 pound Italian pork sausage (preferably luganega), casings removed
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup tomato paste
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
3 to 4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
4 large eggs
1 1/4 cups grated pecorino romano cheese (about 3 ounces)
2 ounces deli-sliced provolone cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice, reduce the heat and simmer, stirring once or twice, until the rice is tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain, shaking the colander to remove any excess water. Spread the rice on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F and place a baking sheet on the middle rack. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, about 8 minutes. Add the sausage and cook, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 6 minutes. Tear the basil and add to the skillet along with the garlic and tomato paste. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring, until the tomato paste browns, about 4 minutes. Stir in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, grease the bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Coat the pan with the breadcrumbs, tapping to remove any excess. Put the eggs and all but 3 tablespoons of the pecorino cheese in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Put the cooled rice in a bowl; add the egg mixture and stir to combine.
  • Transfer about two-thirds of the rice mixture to the prepared springform pan. Using moist fingers, pat the rice onto the bottom and up the sides of the pan, forming a 1/2-inch-thick layer. Place the provolone slices over the rice in the pan. Spoon about three-quarters of the sausage filling over the provolone, filling it to 1/2 inch from the top. Pat the remaining rice mixture on top to enclose the filling, then sprinkle with the remaining 3 tablespoons pecorino cheese. Put the pan on the hot baking sheet and bake until golden, about 20 minutes. Transfer to a rack and let cool, 5 minutes.
  • Run a small knife around the edge of the pan to loosen the timbale, then remove the side of the pan. Slide a spatula under the timbale and transfer it to a platter. Thin the remaining sausage filling with a splash of water and reheat. Serve with the timbale.

SAUSAGE AND RICE DISH



Sausage and Rice Dish image

It's really easy. It doesn't take that much time or effort or thought. Perfect for any student with a kitchen who needs to eat, but also needs to study, or for someone living on their own. You can adjust the size for more people, or reduce it for just yourself. Mom and I made this because we had sausages and rice, and not much else, and neither of us wanted to leave the house to go to the store because it was pouring outside.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 25m

Yield 4 cups, 1-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2-2 1/2 cup rice, depending on how many you plan to cook for (or how hungry you are)
1 -2 sausage, per person (the kind you cook on a grill or stovetop, so Johnsonville or generic kielbasa, whichever kind you li)
oregano (see recipe, step 5)
thyme (see recipe, step 5)

Steps:

  • Cook the rice. If you have a rice cooker, you can put it in there and forget about it for a while and do the other stuff. If you don't, cook the rice the normal way, but keep an eye on it. It's best if you have transparent lids. If you don't know how to cook rice, check the notes on this recipe for that, but you'll kick yourself, it's stupidly easy.
  • Depending on how you cook it and how much, rice takes between 10 and 20 minutes, so while that's going, get out your sausages and cut them into discs. Use a cutting board. A clean one. I'm looking at you, single men. Don't tell me that's clean, I can see where you sliced cheese earlier. Go wash it. It'll only take a minute. I'll wait.
  • Put the chopped sausage discs into a large pan and cook them in a little bit of water. Make sure you use a large pan, even if you don't think it's worth dirtying a large pan for a few sausages.
  • Drain the water (just hold the lid on there and turn the pan sideways over the sink).
  • If the rice is done cooking, put all the rice in with the sausage. This is why we use the large pan. Add your spices. We use Thyme and Oregano, but you can use whatever you think will make it taste best.if you want spicy, maybe add some cayenne or cajun spices. If you want savory, maybe add some dill or coriander instead. It's up to you. You are responsible for your own taste buds.
  • stir it all together in the pan until it's as mixed as you want and until it's warm enough to eat.
  • Put it on a plate or eat it out of the pan. If you're going to eat out of the pan, make sure anyone else you might be serving gets theirs first.
  • TA DAAAA!
  • Notes:.
  • Rice.
  • You'll need a pot, the lid, rice, 2 TBSP of butter, and water.
  • Figure out how much rice you want to make and put double that much water in the pot.
  • Boil the water.
  • Add the rice and the butter.
  • Lower the heat to halfway between medium and low and put the lid on it.
  • Wait (about fifteen minutes) but keep an eye on it.
  • If you don't see water and there's no bubbles coming up any more, listen for the pucka-pucka of boiling water near the bottom of the pot.
  • If you don't hear that, take the rice off the stove, it's done.
  • Also, ignore the serving sizes attached to this recipe. It says four cups, but that's because the yield section wouldn't accept 'I've never measured it' as a viable answer. If you've only cooked one sausage and half a cup of rice, then you've probably got two cups of food, but this yield thing is ridiculous, so just ignore it.
