Ingredients

• 4 links vegan sausage
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 medium bell pepper, diced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 medium carrot, diced
• 1 medium zucchini, diced
• 1 cup basmati rice
• 2 cups vegetable broth
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Slice the vegan sausage links into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the sliced vegan sausage and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the chopped onion, diced bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot and zucchini to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables have softened, approximately 5 more minutes.

Step 5

Add the basmati rice to the skillet and stir well to coat the rice with oil and vegetables.

Step 6

Pour in the vegetable broth and soy sauce. Stir in the dried thyme and dried oregano. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, about 18-20 minutes.

Step 8

Once the rice is cooked, add the cooked vegan sausage back into the skillet. Season with black pepper and salt according to your taste, and stir to combine all the ingredients.

Step 9

Remove from heat and let the dish sit, covered, for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Dish out and enjoy your vegan savory sausage and rice!
