Categories     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
12 ounces cooked Italian chicken sausage links (not breakfast sausage, cut into 1/4-inch slices*)
1 red bell pepper (cored and 1/2-inch diced (about 1 cup))
1 orange or yellow bell pepper (cored and 1/2-inch diced (about 1 cup))
1 small or 1/2 large yellow onion (1/4-inch diced (about 1 cup))
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup instant brown rice*
2 cloves garlic (minced)
Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 15-ounce can fire-roasted tomatoes in their juices
Chopped fresh parsley (optional for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Remove to a plate, blot with paper towels to remove any excess oil, and set aside. (Tip: To finish this meal in 30 minutes, prep the peppers and onions while the sausage browns.)
  • With a paper towel, carefully wipe the skillet until it is mostly clean. Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the bell peppers, onion, basil, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring to coat the rice. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and canned tomatoes in their juices, stirring well. Bring to a boil, stir again, then cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the reserved sausage slices until evenly distributed, then re-cover the skillet and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, until most of the remaining liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.

This is an easy-to-prepare fried rice dished passed down by my Japanese mother. You won't find anything like it in the restaurants. Every time we have a family get-together or a covered dish luncheon at work, I am always requested to bring this rice.

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 pound ground pork sausage
5 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
½ head cabbage, cored and shredded

6 cups cooked white rice, cold

ground black pepper to taste
3 green onions, chopped

Steps:

Add the cold rice, and fry, stirring so that there are no clumps. Mix in the sausage and pour in some soy sauce. Stir in bean sprouts, peas, and eggs, mixing well so there are no big chunks of egg. Season with pepper, and stir in green onions just before removing from the heat. Adjust soy sauce to taste, and serve.

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 SCRAMBLES AND CHEESE

Categories     main-dish

Time 15m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan
1 pound bulk breakfast sausage, such as maple sausage
8 large eggs
A splash half-and-half or whole milk
A few drops hot sauce
Salt and pepper
6 ounces (1/3 pound) Cheddar, diced
1 plum tomato, seeded and diced

Steps:

  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Add extra-virgin olive oil or vegetable oil, 1 turn of the pan, add sausage and brown and crumble the meat, 5 or 6 minutes. Remove the sausage from the pan and drain off some of the fat. Return pan to heat and reduce the temperature to medium low.
  • Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half or milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Scramble the eggs until soft, then add cheese and continue to scramble another minute or so to finish cooking eggs and to begin to melt the cheese bits. Remove pan from heat and combine sausage and eggs. Garnish servings of the eggs with a few pieces of diced fresh tomato. Serve plates of sausage scrambles with pancakes, or for a simple supper, serve with toasted whole grain bread, buttered and drizzled with honey.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Opt for fresh, flavorful sausage, fluffy rice, and nutrient-rich vegetables. These ingredients will greatly enhance the overall taste and texture of your dish.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: To ensure even cooking and prevent steaming, cook the ingredients in batches if necessary. Overcrowding the pan can result in soggy, undercooked food.
  • Season generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! A combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chili powder can add incredible flavor to your sausage and rice scramble. Adjust the seasonings to your personal preference.
  • Cook the rice ahead of time: If you're short on time, cook the rice in advance and store it in the refrigerator. This way, you can quickly assemble the scramble in the morning without having to wait for the rice to cook.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins: Feel free to customize your sausage and rice scramble with your favorite ingredients. Some popular options include diced bell peppers, onions, spinach, mushrooms, or cheese. Get creative and make a scramble that suits your taste.

Conclusion:

A sausage and rice scramble is a versatile and delicious breakfast option that can be tailored to your preferences. It's a great way to use up leftover rice, and it's packed with protein, carbohydrates, and healthy fats to keep you energized throughout the day. With its ease of preparation and customizable ingredients, this dish is perfect for busy mornings or weekend brunches.
