This rice dish was by far one of my favorites, it was good but also filling. It's one that I make nowadays and my kids enjoy.
So here goes, now remember though that I'm not a chef and I don't like cooking according to specific measurements and methods etc....I cook from the heart and I would say with my eyes....hence the eyeballing of ingredients at times :)
SAUSAGE RICE
2 tbps olive oil
1 bay leaf
1 tsp garlic, crushed
salt and pepper to taste
1 small can tomato sauce
1 medium onion, chopped
1 lb sausage, sliced (now here you can use ANY sausage you like even sliced hotdogs)
1 1/2 cups of rice
3 cups of water
In a pan over medium heat, add oil, bay leaf, garlic, salt and pepper, tomato sauce and onion. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes or until onion is tender....add the sausage and cook for another 5 to 6 minutes.
Add the rice and the water to the pan, reduce the heat to low and cook for about 20 minutes or until rice is done.
I usually check often to make sure that there is still enough water or if needed I add just a little more, I want the rice to be cooked but I also want a bit of the sauce to stay, so I don't want it completely dried up.
Remove the bay leaf and serve, along with a salad or some veggies.

As a young teenager my family was stationed on the Terceria island of the Azores. I loved the experience.
