Instructions

Step 1

Heat the oil in large saucepan over medium high heat. Tip: I recommend a 6 quart so there is enough surface area to saute. Add the onion and saute until tender, about 3 minutes.

Step 2

Stir in the sausage, garlic, and red pepper. Cook and stir until the sausage starts to brown, about 3 minutes. Stir in the rice to coat with the oil, about 1 minute.

Step 3

Add the broth, water, salt and pepper. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes, or until the rice is tender, stirring about halfway through.

Step 4

Remove the lid and stir in handfuls of kale to wilt, then stir in the cilantro, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Stir in the heavy cream. Serve immediately.
