Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 pound sweet Italian sausage links
  • 1/2 pound spicy Italian sausage links
  • 1 onion (chopped)
  • 3 bell peppers (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (sliced)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt and pepper
  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 1 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 chunk parm rind (optional)
  • 10 basil leaves (chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
  • 1/4 cup parm cheese (grated)

Instructions
 

  • First, add oil to a medium high pot and place sausage links in the pot. Spread out so the sausage browns and not steams. Cook for 3 minutes per side, take the sausage links out of pot and cut in coin like chunks (reserve to the side).
  • Next, add onions, peppers, garlic powder, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt/pepper to the pot. Stir and let cook 2 minutes.
  • Now, add garlic and put sausage back into the pot. Stir 30 seconds to cook the garlic.
  • Next, add the broth, canned tomatoes and bring to boil and reduce to simmer. Cover and cook 20 minutes or until rice cooked.
  • Finally, stir in basil, red wine vinegar, and parm cheese. Enjoy!
