Ingredients
1 tablespoon olive oil
Step-by-Step Instructions
-
Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Let’s start by softening the onion—give it about 3 minutes.
-
Stir in the garlic, smoked paprika, and oregano, letting those flavors wake up in the heat for about 30 seconds.
-
Add the sausage slices, letting them crisp up and release all that delicious spiced oil.
-
Stir in the rice, making sure every grain gets coated in that gorgeous sausage-infused oil.
-
Pour in the chicken stock and tomatoes, bring it to a simmer, and scatter in the beans. Season to taste.
-
Cover and let it cook gently for 20 minutes, giving it the occasional stir if needed.
-
Take it off the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then fluff with a fork and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
-
Serve with lemon wedges for a little bright, citrusy contrast.

If you love sausage skillet meals but want to switch it up, swap the beans for sweetcorn, or use a different type of sausage.
Chicken sausage dinner recipes work wonderfully too, bringing a leaner yet still flavorful twist.
