Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons olive oil
-
1 onion, diced
-
1 green bell pepper, diced
-
4 cloves garlic, minced
-
1 pound fully cooked kielbasa, cubed
-
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
-
½ cup water
-
1 teaspoon paprika
-
½ teaspoon dried oregano
-
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
-
3 dashes hot sauce
-
1 ½ cups orzo pasta
Directions
-
Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir garlic into vegetables and cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.
-
Stir kielbasa sausage, tomatoes with juice, water, paprika, oregano, thyme, and hot sauce into onion mixture, bring to a boil, and stir in orzo. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until orzo are tender, about 10 minutes.
Cook's Note:
You may also want to brown the sausage before adding it to all the other ingredients. It is still excellent without browning first, though.
