Preparation

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the olive oil and sausage. Brown the sausage pieces on both sides, about 5 minutes. Add the onion and garlic, and cook until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the rice and stir. Add the broth and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to low and cook covered for 10 minutes. Uncover and stir in the bell pepper slices. Cover again and cook until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is done, 10 to 12 minutes. Uncover and season with salt and pepper. If the rice seems wet, cook uncovered for a few minutes.
