Brown Rice With Andouille, Corn, and Red Peppers image

Raised in a Filipino household, I never knew there was such a thing as brown rice - brown? REALLY? - until I was married and on my own. I still love jasmine rice - but I really like that chewy, nutty thing going on with brown rice, too. This recipe is from Cook's Illustrated.

Time 1h50m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

6 ounces andouille sausages, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium onion, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
1 red bell pepper, chopped fine (about 1 cup)
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 cup low sodium chicken broth
2 1/4 cups water
1 1/2 cups long grain brown rice
1 teaspoon table salt
1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
1/4 cup roughly chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 lemon, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position; heat oven to 375 degrees. Cook sausage in Dutch oven over medium heat until lightly browned, 4 to 6 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer sausage to paper towel-lined plate; set aside. Add onion and pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned, 12 to 14 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken broth and water; cover and bring to boil. Remove pan from heat, stir in rice and salt. Cover pot with lid and bake rice until tender, 65 to 70 minutes.
  • Remove pan from oven; uncover and discard foil. Fluff rice with dinner fork, stir in corn and reserved sausage, then replace lid. Let rice stand 5 minutes. Stir in basil and black pepper; serve, passing lemon wedges separately.
