Spicy Coconut Green Curry Rice with Italian Sausage

1.Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear, then drain and set aside.

2.In a medium saucepan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the Italian sausage and cook until browned, breaking it apart with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

3.Once the sausage is browned, add the green curry paste to the pan and stir for about 1 minute until fragrant.

4.Pour in the coconut milk and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the sausage and curry paste.

5.Add the diced tomatoes with green chilies, sugar, and lime juice to the mixture. Stir well and bring to a simmer.

6.Add the rinsed jasmine rice to the saucepan, stirring to ensure the rice is evenly distributed in the liquid.

7.Cover the saucepan with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.

8.Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam.

9.Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot, garnished with fresh cilantro.
