Tips & Techniques

  • High Altitude (3500-6500 ft):

    Use 5-quart Dutch oven. Increase water to 3 cups. After stirring in salsa, sausage, peas and corn, heat again to boiling. Reduce heat and cook uncovered 12 to 14 minutes.

  • Success

    The salsa is added after the rice is cooked because the acid from the tomatoes can prevent the rice from becoming tender.

  • Serve With

    A mixed fresh-fruit salad and corn muffins are tasty accompaniments for this meal.

Ingredients

  • 3/4  cup uncooked regular long-grain white rice
  • 2  cups water
  • 1  cup Old El Paso® Thick 'n Chunky salsa
  • 8  oz smoked kielbasa or Polish sausage, thinly sliced
  • 1  can (15 to 16 oz) black-eyed peas, drained, rinsed
  • 1  cup Green Giant ® Valley Fresh Steamers™ Niblets® frozen corn

Directions

  1. 1In 4-quart saucepan, mix rice and water. Heat to boiling. Reduce heat; cover and simmer 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. 2Stir in salsa, sausage, peas and corn. Cook uncovered 10 to 12 minutes, stirring frequently, until corn is tender and mixture is thoroughly heated.
