Follow The Directions

01

Step
7 mins

In a large skillet over medium heat, cook sausage until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove sausage to a plate and set aside.

02

Step
4 mins

Pour white wine into the hot skillet to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil. (2 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Add olive oil, followed by diced onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is softened and translucent, about 4 minutes.

04

Step
5 mins

Add water, lemon juice, and chicken bouillon cube; mix well and bring to a simmer. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Gently fold in whole kernel corn, cream-style corn, and cooked basmati rice. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.

06

Step

Mix well, gently breaking apart any clumps of rice. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

07

Step

Return the cooked sausage to the skillet, nestling it amongst the rice and corn. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.

For a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the garlic and onions.
Feel free to substitute other types of sausage, such as Italian or chorizo, for a different flavor profile.
Fresh corn kernels, cut straight from the cob, can be used in place of canned corn when in season. Adjust cooking time accordingly.
To lighten the dish, substitute chicken broth for half of the cream-style corn.
A squeeze of fresh lime juice adds a tangy brightness to the finished dish.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
