Smoked sausage is the trick!
It adds a ton of flavour thats absorbed by the rice.
Ive used kransky, but any jot down will do kielbasa, chorizo, etc.

Tastes likeJambalaya, minus the cajun flavours, and much faster to make!
What makes this recipe tick is the use of smoked sausages.
All are slightly different, some smokier than others, with slightly different seasonings.
One dish, different tastes!
Smoked sausages Ive used kransky sausages here but any smoked sausage will work here.
Other smoked sausages you may know include andouille, kielbasa and smoked chorizo.
They are well-seasoned so they leach a ton of flavour into the oil which then flavours the whole dish.
They are commonly cooked sausages like Polish kielbasa, andouille, and the kind you see in American barbecue.
They end up looking like mini meatballs its so good!
Id need to figure out liquid/rice ratios and cook times.
Onion and garlic Essential aromatics for the flavour base.
Smoked paprika The spice used to flavour the rice.
We dont need much flavour added into this dish because the smoked sausages add so much!
Capsicum / bell peppers I used one of each red and yellow in this recipe.
How to make Sausage and Rice
All made in one pot nice and easy!
Do not underestimate how much flavour comes out of smoked sausages!
Once the sausages are golden, remove from the pot and set aside.
We will add them back in later.
Saute garlic and onion.Essential aromatics that virtually every savoury dish on this website starts with!
After we get the garlic and onion going, add the capsicum.
I add it later because it cooks slightly faster.

Then add the cooked sausages back into the pot.
Bring to simmer Give it a stir, then bring to simmer.
Cook 20 minutes Place the lid on and simmer for 20 minutes.
Work quickly here, to minimise the loss of heat.
The residual heat in the rice will cook the peas.
Rest 10 minutes An essential step with any rice recipe which allows the rice to finish cooking through evenly.
The rice is juicy and has absorbed the flavour left in the pot from cooking the sausages.
Actually, it tastes almost like a simpler version ofJambalayaorPaella.
Theres a small range of seasonings in the dish, but overall, the same amount of flavour!
If that makes sense?!?!
A one pot meal!
The steamy heat will wilt the spinach in seconds!
