Smoked Sausage and Rice

Cost of groceries have gone up in Western Canada (and I'm sure the rest of the world). This video will break down the cost of ingredients and give you a total value for the meal. Let's prove that we can eat meals and snacks without breaking the bank! Smoked Sausage and Rice Ingredients: 3 Tbsp olive oil 5 garlic cloves, minced 2 onions (medium), chopped 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1” squares 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1” squares 400g smoked sausage, sliced 1/4” thick 1 tsp salt 1/2 tsp pepper 1 tsp paprika 1 1/2 cups long grain white rice, uncooked 2 1/2 cups chicken broth 2 cups frozen mixed vegetables Directions: 1. Cook sausage: heat 2 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add sausage and cook until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon. 2. Cook onion and garlic: add remaining 1 Tbsp oil. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add peppers and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent. 3. Add rice and liquid: add rice, chicken stock, paprika, salt, pepper and the sausage. Stir, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low so it’s simmering very gently. 4. Cover and cook: cover with lid, cook 20 minutes. 5. Add frozen vegetables and rest: remove pot from stove. Working quickly, remove lid, add peas, then quickly put the lid back on. Rest 10 minutes – the residual heat will cook the vegetables. 6. Fluff and serve: use a fork to fluff the rice. Serve immediately!
