Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs Uncooked Italian sausage, sweet or hot
- 1 medium Onion, chopped
- 2 cups Jasmine Rice, raw
- 2 cups Peas, frozen
- 2 tbsp Chicken Soup Base
- 2 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Parsley (optional)
Instructions
- In a large, dry skillet, break up sausage over medium high heat, allowing fat to render - about 3 minutes. Leave sausage a decent size - 1 inch pieces are perfect.
- Add chopped onion to skillet and stir to coat with fat. Allow to cook for a few minutes.
- If necessary, drain excess fat from skillet. Sprinkle uncooked rice over sausage and onions and combine. Allow to cook for about 2 more minutes until well coated.
- Add 4 1/2 cups room temperature water to skillet. Sprinkle in soup base, and bring entire mixture to a boil over medium high heat.
- Turn heat to low and cover skillet. Allow to cook until rice is desired tenderness, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Sprinkle frozen peas on top of rice and dot with butter. Replace lid and allow to sit for two to three minutes.
- Stir sausage, peas and rice together and serve.
