Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound ground pork sausage or sausage of choice
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 bell pepper any color, seeded and diced
3-4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or more/less to taste
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 cup Spanish rice such as paella rice, or any short grain rice
2 cups chicken broth
15- ounce can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large, high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage and cook until browned, breaking up the meat as it cooks.
Add the onion, bell pepper, and garlic and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, until the vegetables soften. Add the oregano, crushed red pepper flakes, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper and stir to coat.
Stir in the rice and cook for 30 seconds. Add the broth and tomatoes and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.
Season to taste with salt and black pepper, garnish with parsley (if using) and serve.
