Step by Step Method
Step 1
In a 4-quart saucepan heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add the chopped smoked sausage, then brown on all sides. Remove to a plate.
Step 2
Add in more oil if you need to, then add the onion and cook, stirring, until softened, 4 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, red pepper flakes, and bay leaf and cook, stirring, for 1 minute.
Step 3
Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Add the sausage meat back to the saucepan, then add the stock or water, parsley, cilantro and pepper and bring to a boil. Add the rice and stir well. When the liquid returns to a boil, stir again, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook the rice undisturbed for 20 minutes, or until the liquid is dissolved and the rice is tender.
Step 5
Let rice stand for 5 minutes undisturbed before fluffing with a fork.
Step 6
Serve right away.
