"I've included instructions for making the rice on the stove top and in the Instant Pot. I prefer the Instant Pot method because it's easier and faster for me to get dinner on the table, but both methods work well to make the rice."

Step by Step Method
Stovetop Method for Garlic Tomato Jasmine Rice:
Step 1
Rinse 1 1/2 cups of Jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 2
In a saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 3
Stir in the rinsed Jasmine rice and sauté for another minute until lightly toasted and coated with the garlic-infused oil.
Step 4
Add a can of Italian-style diced tomatoes (including the liquid), 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt to taste, and 2 1/4 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Step 5
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer for about 15-20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes.
Instant Pot Method for Garlic Tomato Jasmine Rice:
Step 6
Rinse 1 1/2 cups of Jasmine rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
Step 7
Select the "Sauté" function on the Instant Pot and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, add 4 cloves of minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 8
Add the rinsed Jasmine rice to the Instant Pot along with a can of Italian-style diced tomatoes (including the liquid), 1/2 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of dried oregano, salt to taste, and 1 3/4 cups of water. Stir well to combine.
Step 9
Close the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the "Sealing" position. Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" function and set the cooking time to 4 minutes on high pressure.
Step 10
Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes. After that, carefully perform a quick pressure release by turning the valve to "Venting."
Step 11
Open the Instant Pot lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
For both methods: While the rice is cooking, prepare the spicy Italian sausage and vegetable skillet following the instructions below:
Step 12
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 13
Add 2 pounds of sliced hot Italian sausage to the skillet and cook until browned and fully cooked. Remove the cooked sausage from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 14
In the same skillet, add a bit more olive oil if needed, and then add 1/2 sliced red onion, 1/2 sliced bell pepper, 2 diced jalapeno peppers, 1/2 pound of frozen broccoli florets, 2 chopped celery stalks, and the remaining minced garlic. Cook for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly softened and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 15
Add 1 teaspoon of dried oregano, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes (optional), salt, and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional minute.
Step 16
Add the cooked hot Italian sausage back to the skillet and stir everything together, allowing the flavors to meld for a few minutes.
Step 17
Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed.
Step 18
Garnish the skillet with fresh basil leaves.
Step 19
Serve the spicy meat and vegetables over rice.
