Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 red onion halved and thinly sliced, small
- 1 red orange, or yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 smoked turkey sausage such as Hillshire Farm Naturals Turkey Kielbasa, sliced diagonally about 1/4" thick
- 1 zucchini sliced into rounds about 1/4" thick
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 1 cup white Basmati rice see notes about other kinds of rice
- 2 cups chicken stock or vegetable stock
- 5 oz. baby spinach
- 2 tablespoons parsley chopped, fresh
- 2 tablespoons basil chopped, fresh
- 4 oz. feta cheese crumbled
- 1 cup tomato chopped, fresh
- extra virgin olive oil for serving, more
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat in a large, deep skillet or pot.
- Add the onion, pepper, and sausage. Sauté until vegetables are softened and sausage is starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the zucchini and season lightly with salt and pepper (the sausage is seasoned already, so you won't need too much). Continue sautéing for another minute or so.
- Add the rice and stir to coat. Add the chicken stock and stir, incorporating all the ingredients and scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
- Bring to a boil and add the spinach, stirring into pot until fully wilted (1-2 minutes).
- Turn heat to low, cover pot, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked.
- Stir in fresh herbs.
- Serve topped with feta cheese, chopped tomatoes, and an extra drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.
Notes
- If you wish to use a different kind of rice (white or brown), be wary of both how much liquid you need and the cooking time. Different kinds of rice require different amounts of liquid, and brown rice can take up to 45 minutes to cook through.
- The provided nutrition information does not include any added sodium from seasoning to taste, any optional ingredients, and it does not take brands into account. Feel free to calculate it yourself using this calculator or by adding the recipe to Yummly.
