Spanish Rice with Smoked Sausage

Spanish Rice with Smoked Sausage

Spanish Rice with Smoked Sausage is hearty and zesty and goes well served with sweet cornbread. This recipe is even easier because I used a pouch of prepared brown rice, so it all comes together in one skillet, which makes clean up a snap.
Servings: 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1 -15 ounce can diced tomatoes
  • 1 -8 ounce can tomato sauce
  • 1/4 cup water or chicken stock
  • 1 -8.5 ounce pouch of pre-cooked brown rice, or white rice, if preferred
  • 1 -15 ounce can great northern beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the celery and saute for about 3 minutes, until it begins to soften. Add the smoked sausage to the skillet, and cooked until browned, about 5-6 more minutes.
  • Add the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. Cover and simmer on low for 15 minutes.
  • While the rice is cooking, you can bake some cornbread. The sweetness of the corn bread balances the zesty, slightly spicy spanish rice. The rice will absorb some of the sauce and all the flavors will meld together.

Notes

Serve this easy skillet supper with a garden salad, cornbread, or chips and guacamole. The recipe makes 4 hearty servings.
