Savory Italian Sausage Rice

Italian sausage

🥗Healthier: turkey sausage

💰Cheaper: chicken sausage

Turkey sausage reduces fat while maintaining flavor.

Parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: Pecorino cheese

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor without dairy.

Preheat a pan and add olive oil.

Add Italian sausages to the pan and fry over medium-high heat for about 2 and 1/2 minutes on each side until they reach room temperature.

After about 5 minutes, cut the sausages into bite-sized bits.

In the same pan, add half a chopped onion and 2 cloves of garlic, followed by a chopped red bell pepper and 5 chopped green beans.

Season with salt and pepper, then stir and fry for a minute or two until they start to get tender.

Add the sausage bits back into the pan.

Add rice and stir for about a minute to coat everything nicely.

Pour in 2 cups of chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer for about 20 minutes.

After 20 minutes, when the rice is nicely done, add parsley, chopped green onions, and tomatoes according to taste.

Toss everything together with a wooden spoon.
