Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground Italian sausage
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 1/2 cup diced onion
  • 2 cups unsalted chicken bone broth
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup chopped Italian parsley

Instructions

  • Place a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid on the stove over medium-high heat.
  • Add the Italian sausage, onion, and seasonings.
  • Cook the sausage until there is no more visible pink.
  • Move the sausage to one side, and soak up extra grease with a paper towel.
  • Keeping the heat on medium-high, add the rice.
  • Stir and cook for about one minute or until fragrant.
  • Add the bone broth and bring to a simmer.
  • Turn the heat down to low, cover tightly, and cook for 20 minutes.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit for five minutes.
  • Gently fluff with a fork, add the parsley, and fluff again.
  • Taste and adjust the salt.

Notes

I did not add any oil to the pan in the beginning. Cooking the Italian sausage at a lower heat renders the fat. I find that additional fat is just not necessary. If the brand of Italian sausage you use is leaner, feel free to add a little olive oil to the pan before adding the sausage.
