Lemon-Garlic Rice with Sausage and Kale
This flavorful meal-in-a-pot was inspired by Portuguese arroz de grelos com farinheira, a comforting combination of garlicky rice cooked with turnip greens and sausage. We’ve opted for supple lacinato kale (also called dinosaur or Tuscan kale) instead of turnip greens, which are harder to come by in the U.S. Linguiça is a type of Portuguese sausage seasoned with chili and garlic that typically is sold already cooked or smoked. If it’s not available or if you prefer to use a sausage without any spice, kielbasa is a fine substitute.

Tip
Don’t forget to let the rice cook until dry after it’s added to the pot. This evaporates any water left from rinsing the grains. Also, when simmering is complete, be sure to allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking and the ingredients to absorb moisture.

Ingredients
-
2tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more to serve
-
1medium yellow onion, finely chopped
Directions
-
01In a large saucepan over medium-high, heat the oil until shimmering. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon salt; cook, stirring often, until lightly browned, 6 to 8 minutes. Add the sausage, garlic and pepper flakes; cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage begins to brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice and cook, stirring, until sizzling and dry, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the kale a handful at a time, stirring until wilted after each addition. Stir in 2¼ cups water and ½ teaspoon black pepper, then bring to a simmer. Cover, reduce to low and cook until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes.

Easy, big flavours
We liked this dish. It was simple and created minimal mess, and was flavourful. I used komatsuna for kale and cooked it appropriately less.

Very good and easy.
I cooked this all in a wide 12 inch saucepan covered to cook rice with sheet pan.

All-in-one winner. Try adding squash!
I doubled the onion, and probably tripled the amount of lemon juice to zing it up. Everyone raved. Roasted honeynut squash (seasoned with cardamom and cinnamon) was the perfect accompaniment.
