Rustic Sausage Hotpot
Also know in the US as Sausage, Peppers, and Onions Skillet (no rice in the ingredients), this is a filling meal made with rice, served with a salad on the side, this is delicious and inexpensive.
Ingredients
- 2 onions, halved and sliced
- 1 cup chicken stock, fresh or from powder
- 2 cups brown Basmati rice, rinsed
- 1 can diced tomatoes
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into thick strips
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thick strips
- 3¾ cups water
- 500 grams beef sausage, or sausage of your choice, (1 lb)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
- Heat olive oil in a large saucepan, add sausages and cook, turning regularly, for 5 minutes or until browned, you are browning, not cooking through. Remove from the pan and slice thickly. Reduce heat to medium on the pan.
- Add onions and peppers to the pan and cook, stirring occasionally for 3-4 minutes or until soft.
- Add rice, water, tomatoes, stock, and sausages. Stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat to medium and allow to simmer, covered for 15-20 minutes.
- Remove from heat and set aside, covered for 15 minutes (this allows rice to complete cooking). Season with salt and pepper. Spoon hotpot into serving bowls, and a salad on the side.
Notes
Sausage produced in Thailand can be very inexpensive, pork sausage that is. At Makro we can get English Beef Sausage for about 200 Baht/kilo, we can also pick up smoked and spicy sausage for 200 Baht per 1 kilo, or 100 baht per this recipe. So this recipe meets the $1 or less per person per meal, even with a salad.
It is just one of those meals that is thrown together where “anything goes”. I love this kind of food – you can make it 100 times and it will never taste the same 😀

Denise, excellent dish! I used spicy smoked pork sausage, very similar to Kielbasa, white rice instead of brown, and omitted the tomatoes (actually forgot to put in). Very tasty!
