# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
1 lb smoked kielbasa sausage
02 -
2 cups instant rice
03 -
1 cup frozen peas
04 -
2 cups water
→ Seasonings
05 -
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
06 -
1 teaspoon dried minced onions
07 -
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
08 -
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
09 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
10 -
1/2 teaspoon paprika
# Instructions:
01 -
Cut the kielbasa into even slices about 1/2 inch thick. This ensures they cook evenly and brown nicely.
02 -
Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add kielbasa slices and cook until browned on both sides, about 5-6 minutes total. Add a little oil if your pan needs it.
03 -
Add instant rice, frozen peas, water, Dijon mustard, dried minced onions, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika to the skillet. Mix everything well to combine.
04 -
Increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
05 -
Once boiling, reduce heat to low, cover the skillet, and simmer for 10-12 minutes until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. Stir occasionally.
06 -
Remove from heat and let stand covered for 2-3 minutes to allow any remaining liquid to absorb. Fluff with a fork and serve hot.
# Notes:
01 -
Add butter at the end for extra creaminess or cheese for a cheesy version
02 -
Any precooked sausage works - try turkey or chicken sausage
03 -
You may need oil depending on your pan type
