How to Make Sausage and Zucchini and Brown Rice Skillet

• Saute veggies in a skillet.
• Add sausage and cook.
• Add rice, chicken broth, seasonings and black beans.
• Boil then simmer, then rest off heat.
• Add parsley, serve with cheese.

Tips for This Recipe

• Of course I think this is better with cheese, everything is better with cheese. But if you are looking to cut calories feel free to omit it.
• Add corn for another veggie.
• If you don’t like heat just leave out the cayenne pepper, and if you love heat add in some extra.
• If you don’t have parsley on hand but you do have cilantro I think that would be another good herb here and again don’t hesitate to add more to taste if you’d like.

That’s the great thing about home cooking, you can make it exactly how you like. Just don’t sway too far from the recipe here though because I thought it was spot on delicious :). It’s like Spanish rice meets sausage and zucchini and it’s a seriously tasty combo!
