Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 8 ounces Italian sausage, casings removed, broken into pieces
  • 1 small sweet onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 & 1/4 cups long grain rice
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 2 & 1/4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 head broccoli (about 6 ounces), cut into 1 1/2-inch florets

Equipment

  • large nonstick skillet

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Warm oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausage and let it develop a little golden crust; cook, breaking it up into small pieces until no pink remains.
  2. Add onion; saute until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, to taste.
  3. Stir in rice to coat.
  4. Add the wine; cook until rice has absorbed almost all of the liquid, about 1 minute.
  5. Add broth and bring to a boil.
  6. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for 15 minutes until rice is tender.
  7. Stir in the broccoli, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes until broccoli is tender and rice has absorbed the broth.
  8. Taste and add more salt, if necessary. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Use long grain rice for best texture. Let sausage brown properly for maximum flavor. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving. Substitute different vegetables as desired.
