Sausage and Rice
Method
Preparation and Cooking
Make the Sausage
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground chicken, chopped basil, curry powder, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined. Shape the mixture into sausage links or patties.
Prepare the Rice
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the basmati rice and a pinch of salt. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is fluffy and the water is absorbed.
Make the Cream Sauce
In the same skillet used for the sausage, add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent. Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine, and let it simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened. Season with salt to taste.
Serve
To serve, place a portion of basmati rice on a plate, top with the sausage, and pour the cream sauce over. Finish by sprinkling chopped salted peanuts on top.
