Dirty Rice with Smoked Sausage

Brown the smoked sausage in a large skillet over medium heat until it is nicely caramelized; remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, celery, and bell pepper and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and season with Cajun seasoning, salt, and oregano; cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Stir in the rice, coating each grain with the vegetable‑sausage mixture.

Pour in the chicken broth, return the sausage to the pan, and bring to a gentle boil.

Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15–18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

Remove from heat, let stand covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork and finish with chopped green onions.
