instructions
    1

    Start by preparing the ingredients. Dice the onion and bell pepper, and mince the garlic.

    2

    In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and bell pepper, cooking for about 3 to 4 minutes, until they are soft.

    3

    Add the minced garlic and sliced sausage to the pot. Cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the sausage is browned.

    4

    Stir in the rice, salt, and black pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, mixing everything well.

    5

    Pour in 4 cups of chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

    6

    Let it simmer for about 15 minutes until the rice absorbs the liquid.

    7

    After 15 minutes, add 1 cup of frozen peas and stir gently. Cover the pot again and cook for another 5 minutes.

    8

    Once cooked, remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.
