Instructions
- 1Slice the andouille sausage into 1/2-inch medallions. Cut the broccoli into small florets. Dice the bell pepper and onion into 1-inch pieces. Set aside.
- 2In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, dried oregano, smoked paprika, and sugar until combined. Set the vinaigrette aside.
- 3Add the rice and 2 cups water to a sauce pot with a lid. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest undisturbed for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.
- 4While the rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausage medallions and cook 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until browned on both sides. Transfer to a plate.
- 5In the same skillet, add the bell pepper, onion, and broccoli. Cook 8–10 minutes over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender-crisp and lightly browned at the edges.
- 6Return the sausage to the skillet. Drizzle with half of the remaining vinaigrette and toss to coat. Cook 1–2 minutes until heated through.
- 7Divide the rice evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Top each with an equal portion of the sausage and vegetable mixture.
- 8Drizzle the remaining vinaigrette over each container and finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley. Seal and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
