Instructions

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet and place over a medium heat. Place the sausages into the skillet and cook for 8-10 minutes until browned on all sides. Transfer to a small plate and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the onion, garlic, celery, and bell peppers, and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, thyme, and oregano, and cook for 1 further minute.
  • Next, add the chopped tomatoes, rice, bay leaves, and vegetable broth and stir well to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover with a lid, and simmer on low for 20-25 minutes, stirring often.
  • In the last 5 minutes of cooking, add the kidney beans and the cooked sausage. Continue to cook until warmed through.
  • Remove the bay leaves, season with salt and pepper and serve garnished with green onions, parsley and optional hot sauce.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
