Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 Polish Kielbasa, sliced on a diagonal
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground mustard
  • 1 cup uncooked white basmati rice
  • 3 cups + 3 tablespoons chicken stock divided
  • 4 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Heat a large deep skillet to medium and add oil. Add sliced kielbasa and cook for 1-2 minutes on one side before flipping to cook another 1-2 minutes on the other. Remove from pan and set aside.
  2. Deglaze pan with 3 tablespoons of chicken stock, then add onion, garlic and saute until onion is translucent, about 3 minutes.
  3. Add rice, salt, pepper, and mustard and stir to combine, frying for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add remaining 3 cups of chicken stock and lemon juice. Turn heat up to bring it all to a boil, then reduce to medium low to a gentle simmer. Cover and cook for 15 minutes.
  5. After 15 minutes, remove lid and add broccoli. Don't mix! Just add the broccoli to the top and cover and cook for another 5 -7 minutes, until broccoli is tender.
  6. Add kielbasa and stir. Add 1/2 cup of the cheese and stir to combine then top with remaining cheese and cover with lid to melt the cheese.
  7. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Storage: 
  • Storage
  • Fridge: Store in the fridge for up to 4 days. 
  • Freezer: Let completely cool and then store in the freezer for up to 3 months. 
  • Substitutions:

  • Rice: We really recommend for this recipe to keep it quick and easy, to use white rice. This is great to use leftover brown rice, by adding the cooked rice after the broccoli is cooked, just enough to reheat. If doing this, then reduce stock to only 1/2-3/4 cup to cook broccoli in.  
  • Broccoli - Use frozen by just adding it to the pan, frozen.  
  • Other Veggies - This is great with cauliflower, too!  Or add some bell pepper or celery with the garlic and onion.
