  • Yield Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

    • 3 tablespoons grape-seed oil
    • 1 1/2 tablespoons annatto seeds
    • 1 small red chile, stemmed, seeded, and minced
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1/2 pound vegetarian or organic chicken sausage, cut into bite-size pieces
    • 1 cup diced tomato
    • 4 small bay leaves, broken in half
    • 2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
    • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a medium saute pan, heat the oil and annatto seeds over medium heat until sizzling. Lower the temperature and cook until the oil turns yellow, about 5 minutes. Turn off the heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove annatto seeds and discard.
  2. Reheat the annatto oil over medium-high heat. Saute chile and garlic, stir, and cook for 30 seconds. Add sausage, tomato, and bay leaves; cook and stir until heated through.
  3. Stir in cooked rice. Remove and discard bay leaves. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
