Ingredients

  • 12 ounces vegan spicy sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, diced
  • 1 red bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes (canned or fresh)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add the sliced vegan sausage and cook until browned and slightly crispy on the edges. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté the diced onion and bell peppers until softened.
  4. Stir in the minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.
  5. Add the rice, smoked paprika, chili powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat the rice evenly with the spices.
  6. Pour in the vegetable broth and diced tomatoes. Bring to a gentle boil.
  7. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18–20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
  8. Return the browned sausage to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2–3 minutes to heat through.
  9. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For extra protein, add black beans or kidney beans during the final few minutes of cooking.
  • Brown rice can be used, but increase cooking time and broth as needed.
  • Adjust spice level by reducing chili powder or using mild vegan sausage.
  • Add corn or zucchini for additional vegetables and texture.
  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
