This is a much loved recipe that my mother made often when I was growing up. It tastes great served with pinto or red kidney beans.

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

¼ cup vegetable oil
1 small onion, diced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 ½ cups uncooked white rice
2 cups water
¾ (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crisp. Mix in the rice, water, tomato sauce, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
