Ingredients

Directions

Step #1 WHITE RICE.
Step #2 Start white rice in pan.
Step #3 Make 1 c of rice with a 2:1 ratio (2 parts water to 1 part rice).
Step #4 Bring 2 c of water to a boil.
Step #5 Add 1 c of rice.
Step #6 Cover up & reduce heat to LOW.
Step #7 After 10-15 mins, check rice.
Step #8 Stir & “fluff” with a fork to make sure water is absorbed.
Step #9 Once it is done, remove this from heat & pour this into a mixing bowl.
Step #10 SAUSAGE & ONION MIX.
Step #11 Heat a separate frying pan on HIGH heat.
Step #12 Add nice (moderate) amount of Extra Virgin Olive Oil to pan.
Step #13 Add sliced onion & sauté (reserve some onion to add at the end).
Step #14 Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Step #15 The onions should be a translucent color.
Step #16 Add garlic & sauté until onions are golden.
Step #17 Add sausage, sliced jalapeno, & any reserved onion & seasonings.
Step #18 Stir frequently to avoid burning.
Step #19 TIMING -- Provided your rice is fully cooked & the sausage is heated through, you're done & can mix everything together.
Step #20 If your rice still needs a little time, while you're waiting, reduce heat for the sausage mixture to Medium Low or Low (just enough to keep it nice & hot).
Step #21 In a separate mixing bowl, mix white rice with sausage mixture.
Step #22 The drippings from the frying pan are what make the white rice “dirty,” so make sure to scrape everything into the bowl.
Step #23 Stir & toss well.
