Pork and Sausage Brown Rice Skillet
 
Makes 4 to 6 Servings
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ pound andouille sausage, sliced crosswise ½ inch thick
  • 2½ teaspoons kosher salt, divided
  • 1½ pounds pork tenderloin, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • ½ cup diced celery
  • ½ cup diced yellow onion
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 2 cups diced butternut squash
  • 2 cups chopped fresh collard greens
  • 2 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • Garnish: fresh rosemary
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°.
  2. In a 12-inch cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add andouille, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned and crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet. Increase heat to medium-high.
  3. Sprinkle 1½ teaspoons salt all over pork, and add to skillet. Cook, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  4. Add celery and onion to skillet, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until almost tender, 2 to 3 minutes. (If mixture begins to burn, add a small amount of broth, and scrape browned bits from bottom of skillet with a wooden spoon.) Stir in broth, ½ cup water, and remaining 1 teaspoon salt; bring to a boil. Stir in rice, squash, greens, and rosemary. Return mixture to a boil. Remove from heat; arrange sausage and pork on top of rice.
  5. Bake until rice and vegetables are tender and lightly golden, 10 to 15 minutes. Garnish with rosemary, if desired.
