One-Pan Sausage & Sun-Dried Tomato Rice for Two
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.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 Italian sausage link casing removed
- ½ cup white rice
- 1 clove garlic minced
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes squeezed dry and chopped
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- In a Caraway sauté pan over medium heat, crumble and brown the Italian sausage.
- Add the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
- Add the rice and sauté for 1–2 minutes to lightly toast the rice.
- Add salt, pepper, crushed red pepper, and sun-dried tomatoes and stir together.
- Pour in 1 cup of water and bring to a boil.
- Cover with the lid and transfer the pan to the oven.
- Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven, fluff the rice, and serve.
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.
