Ingredients
2 cups uncooked parboiled rice
1/4 cup vegetable oil
8 ounces smoked pork sausage, finely diced
1 large onion, finely diced
1 bell pepper, finely diced
2 6-ounce cans tomato paste
4 teaspoons sugar
1 tablespoon garlic powder
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
Directions
- Rinse the rice until the water becomes slightly clear. (This removes the starch.)
- Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausage, onion and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables soften and start to brown at the edges, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste, sugar, garlic powder and 1 tablespoon each salt and pepper. Stir the rice into the tomato mixture and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until well combined, about 5 minutes.
- Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch or other 3-quart baking dish and spread into an even layer. Add just enough water to cover the rice (about 2 cups). Tightly cover with a lid or foil and bake for 30 minutes without uncovering the dish. Turn off the oven; remove the rice from the oven, uncover and fluff, then cover again and return to the oven for 10 minutes more.
