Unstuffed Peppers

1 cup brown rice
1/2 pound chicken sausage (casings removed)
1-2 green peppers
1 red onion (chopped)
you can add other veggies
season to taste
approx 1 tbsp olive oil

In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups water, the rice and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt to a boil. Cover the pan, lower the heat and simmer until tender, about 40 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes; fluff with a fork. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon extra- virgin oil and the sausage and cook, breaking up the meat, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer the sausage to the rice. Return the skillet to the heat and add 1 more tablespoon olive oil, the bell peppers, veggies, and onion. Season with sea salt and pepper and cook until the vegetables are crisp and tender, about 5 minutes. Add the veggies to chicken sausage and brown rice and toss. Serves 4.
