Provided by Jamie Silva

Categories     Dinner     Main Course

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons olive oil
1 small onion (chopped)
1 green bell pepper (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 can sliced pimentos (4 oz) (drained)
1 can tomato sauce (8 oz)
2 cups uncooked long grain rice (washed and strained)
3 1/2 cups water
1 MAGGI® chicken bouillon cube
Pinch of achiote, annatto or turmeric powder to color the rice
1 bay leaf
12 ounces smoked chicken sausages (sliced (or 1 can Vienna sausages, cut in half))

Steps:

  • In a Dutch oven or saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, green pepper, and garlic. Sauté for 5 minutes.
  • Add sliced pimentos and tomato sauce. Sauté for 1 minute. Add rice, water, bouillon cube, achiote and bay leaf. Bring to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and rice is tender, about 15 minutes. DO NOT OPEN THE LID. The steam is what cooks the rice. After 15 minutes, remove from heat. Keep the lid on for another 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
  • While the rice is cooking, slice the canned Vienna sausages.
  • If making the chicken sausages, add 1/4 cup water to a hot skillet and cook sliced chicken sausages at medium heat, turning them frequently, for about 5-10 minutes until cooked through. Cook in batches, if using a small skillet.
  • Fold the sausages into the yellow rice. Serve immediately. Enjoy!

SAUSAGE SPANISH RICE WITH BACON



Sausage Spanish Rice With Bacon image

This is a meaty spanish rice with lots of flavor. I never really liked most Spanish rice dishes because they seemed too bland until I ate a version of this one at a family reunion. I tweaked it so that it had lots of taste without the green peppers some people use because I have a son who hates them. If you like them feel free to add them to the dish.

SPANISH RICE WITH ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE AND CHORIZO



Spanish Rice With Andouille Sausage and Chorizo image

This is so savory and warming. It's not too spicy for kids. I made mine in a crockpot and let it simmer for a few hours so when my Hubby and son got home, they could have food. The software made me choose the weight of the sazon seasoning, but it's just two packets. It will come in a box. The Sofrito is a foil pouch of a tomato paste type sauce. You can make your own if you search for it. I hope you enjoy as much as me and my husband did.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality Spanish rice for the best results. It is a short-grain rice that absorbs more liquid and has a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the amount of heat to suit your taste. If you like your rice a little spicy, add an extra pinch of cayenne pepper or a diced jalapeño.
  • If you don't have any Spanish paprika on hand, you can use a combination of regular paprika and smoked paprika. Just be sure to use half the amount of smoked paprika as you would regular paprika.
  • Be patient when cooking the rice. It takes about 20 minutes for the rice to absorb all of the liquid and become tender.
  • Let the rice rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the grains to separate and fluff up.

Conclusion:

Spanish rice with sausage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover rice, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated. Whether you serve it as a main course or a side dish, this flavorful rice dish is sure to be a hit.
