To buy
- 1 cup red rice
From your shelf
- 2 links Amy's meatless veggie sausage
Staples
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup water
- Slice the two sausage links on a bias into half-inch rounds. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until the surface shimmers, then lay the slices in a single layer and leave them untouched for three minutes until they brown on one side.
- Flip each slice and cook for two more minutes until the other side colors. Transfer the sausage to a plate.
- Pour 1 cup water into the skillet, add 1 cup red rice and 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil, stirring once. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and cook for fifteen minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed.
- Return the sausage to the pan and warm it through for one minute, tossing gently.
Note Swap the rice for quick-cooking quinoa or millet if you have it; reduce water to three-quarters cup and cooking time to ten minutes. Leftovers keep in the fridge for three days. Serve with a sharp vinegar slaw or a green salad to balance the grain.
