Quick and Dirty Rice
- 34 lb kielbasa, roughly diced (about 3 small links)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 poblano pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup rice
- 1 34 cups vegetable stock (I use Rich Vegetable Stock)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 12 teaspoon salt
- 14 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat.
- Add sausage to pan and brown it, about 5 minutes.
- Flip it around once or twice, but don't mess with it too much or it won't brown.
- Add onions, garlic, peppers, salt and ground pepper.
- Stir to coat in oil and saute until the onions just begin to soften.
- Add the rice, stir it around to coat, and let it brown for a minute.
- Add the stock and loosen any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
- Cover the skillet, reduce the heat way down, and simmer for 20 minutes.
- As with any rice dish cooked this way, don't lift the lid!
- After 20 minutes, turn off the heat, fluff the rice with a fork, replace the lid, and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
- Enjoy!
- Notes:.
- - You can use any cured sausage that you like.
- I like to use a good beef and jalapeno kielbasa or country sausage.
- - To get the prettiest little ribbons of poblano pepper, cut the pepper into quarters and thinly slice across the quarters.
- - Chicken or beef stock would work just as well as the veggie stock.
- I use the veggie stock because I always have a fresh batch on hand.
- - If you've never made your own veggie stock, give it a try!
- It's super easy, nearly free, and adds a ton of flavor to whatever you're cooking.
- Plus, YOU control the ingredients.
- - Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste, and maybe jazz it up by adding other spices such as cumin, chili powder, coriander -- whatever strikes your fancy!
- The basic recipe is tasty on its own, but a cook can always play!
