Ingredients

• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 1 pound smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
• 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice
• 2 cups water
• 3/4 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon adobo seasoning
• salt and ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Heat the vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and garlic; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sausage; cook and stir until the sausage is crisp. Mix in the rice, water, tomato sauce, adobo seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes.
