Sausage Rice (gluten and dairy free!)

SAUSAGE RICE! (gluten and dairy free!) - simple and tasty!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of dry Brown rice
• 1 pound of hot or mild Italian style sausage bulk (pork or chicken) - you can just ask the guy behind the meat counter to take off the casing if the sausage is made in store. If that is not an option, you can take off casing once you cook the sausage. 
• 1/2 of an Onion
• Some small Carrots or one large one
• A handful of Garlic
• Olive Oil
• Parsley 
• Salt & Pepper

Start:

1. Cook the rice in a rice cooker or directed by the package. 
2. While rice is half way done cooking (it takes a long time, 45-60 min), put the sausages in the oven on 375 degrees for 10 minutes, then flip for another 10-15 minutes. If you have sausage bulk, cook in a pan on medium and break up and flip until done.
3. If bulk, put cooked sausage pieces into a food processor and chop up small. If sausages, let cool and then peel back casing (if this doesn't work, don't worry, you can leave it on)... then cut up sausages into smaller pieces, put the pieces in a food processor and chop up the meat. 
4. Food process the carrots, onion, and garlic.
5. Place carrots, onion, and garlic in a pan with olive oil and cook on medium heat until onions and garlic become transparent. 
6. Sprinkle a lot of parsley, salt, & pepper.
7. Add the sausage meat to the sauteed veggies and keep on low and stir until rice is done. 
8. Mix rice with meat and veggies in a large pan or in a large bowl, add more olive oil. 
9. Serve hot! and ENJOY!
