In a large pot, heat 1 tbs olive oil and cook sausage. Once brown, remove and set aside

Add 1 more tsp olive oil and add onion and garlic. Sautee until translucent.

Add the tomato paste and cook 2 min, then add the raw rice and mix. Then add chili powder and salt and pepper to taste.

Add the can of diced tomato and let cook 5 min.

Add all the veggies (except peas) and the sausage and stir all together.

Add the 2.5 cups chicken stock and bring everything to a boil and cook 5 min

After 5 min, reduce heat to medium/low with lit slightly vented on the pot. Cook for about 20-30 min

Once rice is cooked, add your frozen peas and add about handful of chopped cilantro and mix. The peas will take just 3min to cook
