1 cup (250 mL) long grain rice
1 can (28 oz/796 mL) tomatoes
1/4 tsp (1 mL) each: turmeric, red pepper flakes
1 bay leaf
1 cup (250 mL) fresh or frozen peas

Cooking Instructions
1. In a large non-stick skillet or Dutch oven, cook sausages, crumbling with a spoon, over medium heat until browned (about 5 minutes).
