Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2 cups uncooked long-grain white rice (such as Jasmine or Basmati)
- 4 1/4 cups Vegan Chicken-less Broth (or regular vegetable broth)
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
- 4 vegan sausage links (I use Field Roast Italian Sausage or my homemade sausages)
- 3 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a high-sided skillet (10-12 inches) with a lid or a medium-sized (4-5 quart) stock pot, combine the uncooked rice, not-chicken broth, lemon juice and spices. Bring to a simmer, cover with the lid, and cook for 20-25 minutes until the rice is tender and the excess liquid is absorbed.
- While the rice cooks, slice the sausage and cook in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until slightly browned (or cook according to package directions).
- Once the rice is cooked, remove from heat. Add in the cooked sausage and the chopped spinach. Mix to combine. The spinach should wilt due to the heat.
- If desired, garnish with fresh cilantro before serving.
