Brazilian Paella

(from castro15’s recipe box)

Categories: Slow Cooker

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb medium-spicy pork sausage
  • 2-3 lb chicken
  • 2 large yellow onions
  • 1 lb canned tomatoes
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups uncooked long-grain brown rice
  • 3 chicken bouillon cubes
  • 2 cups hot water

Directions

  1. Form the sausage into balls about the size of large marbles. Clean and cut the chicken into serving size pieces. Peel and chop the onions and 1/4-inch pieces. Drain the tomatoes, retaining the liquid and cut into 1-inch pieces.

  2. Using a large skillet on medium-high, fry the sausage balls until they are well browned and crisp. Place them on paper towels to absorb the grease. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Without emptying the grease from the skillet, fry the chicken pieces for about 10 minutes. Place the chicken on paper towels to absorb the grease.

  3. Drain all but 3 tbsp grease from the skillet. Saute the onions on medium heat in the skillet until translucent. Add the rice to the skillet and continue to saute, stirring constantly for 10 minutes.

  4. Place the sausage balls, chicken, onion and rice mixture, tomato juice and tomatoes in the slow cooker. Mix the bouillon in 2 cups of hot water; add to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on LOW 8-9 hrs.
