🛒 Ingredients
- Nutrafarms Farmers Sausage (Mild)
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 tbsp garlic and ginger (or garlic-ginger paste)
- 1 tbsp dried basil
- 1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 cup rice
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup water
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for topping)
- Oil, for frying
🔪 Instructions
1. Cook the Base
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until soft and translucent.
2. Add the Sausage & Seasoning
Remove the Nutrafarms Farmers Sausage from its casing and add it to the pan. Stir in the garlic and ginger, dried basil, Cajun seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the sausage is about 90% done.
3. Add the Rice & Liquids
Stir in the rice so it absorbs all the flavours in the pan. Pour in the heavy cream and water, mixing well to combine.
4. Simmer to Perfection
Cover and let simmer for about 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the sauce is thick and creamy.
5. Serve & Enjoy
Fluff the rice, top with grated Parmesan (if desired), and serve warm.
