# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Finely chop your parsley now so you have it ready to top everything at the end.
02 -
Toss in your sausage, cooked rice, onions, bell peppers, and whatever broth is left. Stir it around until it's nice and warm through.
03 -
Scoop tomato paste into your skillet and pour in about three-quarters cup of broth. Whisk until you have a smooth sauce, then let that bubble for a minute. Add your paprika and cayenne now.
04 -
Drop the sliced onion, yellow bell pepper, and red bell pepper into your skillet. Cook those on medium-high for 4 to 5 minutes, until they get soft. Sprinkle in garlic, salt, and black pepper, and let that get fragrant for about a minute. Scoop everything out and keep it with the sausage.
05 -
Get your big skillet hot on medium-high. Pour in the olive oil, then add sausage slices once the oil looks shimmery. Brown both sides for about 5 minutes. Move sausage out and set aside.
06 -
Prepare the rice in a small pot, following whatever's on the package. Set it aside when it's done.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
If you want an Italian feel, grab Italian sausage and shake in Italian seasoning. Going for Cajun? Get andouille sausage and use Cajun seasoning instead.
02 -
Store leftovers covered tight in a fridge up to 4 days, or freeze in a strong container for 3 months. Reheat with a splash of chicken broth so it stays moist.
