Many kids love rice, so this is a great lunch idea. Save some from dinner to reheat in the morning and pack in a vacuum bottle to keep warm.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz hot Italian sausages or mild Italian sausages
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 onion, chopped
  • 1 zucchini, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1-1/2 cups short-grain Italian rice
  • 3-1/2 cups chicken stock
  • 1 tomato, chopped
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Preparation

Remove casings from sausage. In large saucepan, cook sausage over medium-high heat, breaking up with spoon, until browned, about 4 minutes. Drain off fat.

Add garlic, onion, zucchini, oregano, salt and pepper; cook over medium heat, stirring often, until vegetables are softened, about 3 minutes. Add rice, stirring to coat.

Add 3 cups (750 mL) of the stock; bring to boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer, stirring once, for 15 minutes. Add remaining stock; simmer, stirring often, until moist and creamy, 5 minutes. Stir in tomato, Parmesan and parsley.
