Rustic Sausage Hotpot

Denise Georgiades, South Africa.

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.
