Serves: 4-6
- 1 tablespoon of avocado oil
- 1 small red or white onion
- 2 small garlic cloves minced
- 1 pack of chicken sausage
- 1 cup or 1 pack of quick brown rice, organic. I used the Trader Joe's microwave kind for speed or sometimes I use rice that I've cooked

- ½ cup Cilantro
- Juice of half a lemon
- ⅛ tsp chili flakes (optional)
- Put the avocado oil into a skillet on medium heat.
- Place the chicken sausage in the skillet and cook until slightly brown all around the sausage
- Once the sausage is cooked remove from the pan and place on a cutting board for cooling and then slice to bite sized pieces.
- In the meantime, place the onion into the pan and allow to cook for about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and stir in for 30 seconds.
- Add the red pepper and zucchini and cook for 5-7 minutes making sure the veggies soften but don't lose their crunch.
- Add the cooked brown rice and stir to combine
- Add the juice of the lemon and mix in with the veggies and rice.
- Add the sausages, cilantro and chili flakes (optional)
- Stir to combine and heat up the sausage.
- Place skillet on the table to serve (on a heatproof pad or trivet) or dish up into bowls.
