Stove Top 5 Min 25 Min 30 Min

Ingredients:

  • 10 ounces Kielbasa or Turkey Sausage, cut into bite sizes [1]
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil
  • 1/2 white Onion, diced
  • 2 tablespoons Garlic, chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 3 cups Chicken Stock
  • 2 Bay Leaves
  • 1 1/2 cup uncooked Rice
    white recommended for stovetop or brown recommended for instapot [2]
  • 1 Green Bell Pepper, diced (optional) [3]
  • 2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce (optional) [4]
  • 1 teaspoon Hot Chili Sauce (optional) [5]

InstaPot Directions:

  1. Brown the sausage for about 5-6 minutes on saute mode.
  2. Add the diced onion, pepper and garlic. Cook until the onion is translucent.
  3. Add the uncooked rice, chicken stock, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, onion powder and a pinch of salt and pepper.
  4. Simmer until rice is done:
    1. Brown rice - 35 min on pressure cook, high pressure.
    2. White rice - 15 min on pressure cook, high pressure.

Stove Top Directions:

  1. The first thing you want to do is pick a pan that is big enough to hold all of these ingredients. You will also need to be able to use a lid.
  2. Over a medium flame, saute the cup up turkey sausage over a tablespoon of olive oil. Brown the sausage for about 5-6 minutes.
  3. Next add the diced onion, pepper and garlic. Then season with the cayenne pepper, onion powder and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix it together and put back on the stove. Cook until the onion is translucent. This usually takes another five minutes.
  4. Add the uncooked rice, chicken stock and bay leaves. I used white rice but you can also use brown rice. Mix together.
  5. Bring to a boil then cover and simmer for 20 minutes. It will be done when the rice is cooked.
  6. Make sure you keep an eye on the rice because it can stick to the bottom of the pan.
  7. Remove from the stove when it’s done. If you like it a little spicy, add the Worcestershire sauce and Hot Chili sauce and mix together.
  8. Serve immediately.
