Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage links
  • 1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage links
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 bell peppers (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 chunk parm rind (optional)
  • 10 basil leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup parm cheese (grated)

Method
 

  1. First, add oil to a medium high pot and place sausage links in the pot. Spread out so the sausage browns and not steams. Cook for 3 minutes per side, take the sausage links out of pot and cut in coin like chunks (reserve to the side).
  2. Next, add onions, peppers, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt/pepper to the pot. Stir and let cook 2 minutes.
  3. Now, add garlic and put sausage back into the pot. Stir 30 seconds to cook the garlic.
  4. Next, add the broth, canned tomatoes and bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Cover and cook 20 minutes or until rice cooked.
  5. Finally, stir in basil, red wine vinegar, and parm cheese. Enjoy!
