Festive Sausage And Rice Dressing Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • While the rice is cooking, Cook the sausages over medium heat in a large sauté pan, turning frequently ( or follow the directions on the package). Once browned, remove from pan and let cool.
  • In the same pan, heat up a little oil keeping the heat to medium. Add all of the vegetables and garlic and cook until the onions have softened and are translucent, stirring frequently. Add a pinch of salt and enough pepper to your liking ( I like a lot!). Stir in all the dried herbs and cook one more minute.
  • Then, add enough chicken stock to the pan just to coat the bottom of the pan, turning down the heat if needed. Let the veggies simmer until the carrots have softened. (Keep some chicken stock to the side and add more as needed, keep the veggies moist not swimming!)
  • Meanwhile, slice the sausages into 1/2 inch pieces and return to the pan to heat through. Check for seasonings at this point, a little liquid in the pan is great, the rice will absorb it!
  • In a large bowl, add the rice and sausage mixture stirring to combine. Add approx. a 1/4 cup of melted butter, this adds flavour as well as a little glisten and helps hold the rice together, optional though. Adjust seasonings again if needed. Serve immediately!
  • *You can make ahead of time and re-heat, just omit the butter until ready to serve. Reserve some chicken stock and add a little to the cold dressing before re-heating to help re-hydrate the rice.
  • *I always buy a litre of chicken stock to make this, I use most of it to cook the rice in and the remainder in the pan.
  • * If gluten free, make sure the sausages and other ingredients say gluten free!

    That looks really neat Shona! I'm not even a big rice fan, but I think this would be really fun to try some time.
