Tips for making this recipe
Vegetable stock: Ensure you add boiled vegetable stock, so it doesn’t change the rice’s cooking time.
Sausage: For a more intense flavor, use smoked sausage. For a vegan version, use vegan sausage.
Rice cooking time: Rice cooking time depends on the rice brand/type you’re using. Check the package instructions for a more accurate cooking time and adjust when you add the peas, so they also have time to cook. You should add the peas halfway through cooking the rice.
Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
