If you're using a spicy sausage, enjoy this tasty dish with a nice cold beer.
Sausage, Rice and Vegetable Medley
If you have some already prepared rice on hand, this dish cooks up in about 15-20 minutes. I use a slightly spicy sausage called “New Orleans” which I buy at Lococo's, one of my favorite places to shop in Niagara Falls, Ontario. Any of these vegetables can be ommitted or switched with another not listed. I've tried it with some diced sweet potato and also some rapini. Some arugula added just before adding the tomatoes would be a great addition.
