One-Pan Sausage & Sun-Dried Tomato Rice for Two

No ratings yet
This is one of those simple dinners that feels cozy and a little fancy, but it’s actually very easy to make. Everything cooks in one pan, and the sun-dried tomatoes add so much flavor. I love making meals like this in my Caraway sauté pan because it goes from stovetop to oven and makes cleanup really easy.

Notes

  • Toasting the rice before adding water adds extra flavor.
  • Make sure the sun-dried tomatoes are squeezed dry so the rice cooks properly.
  • Parmesan cheese on top is really good with this.
  • You can add spinach at the end for a little green.
  • Leftovers reheat really well the next day.
