2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 cup onions, diced
1 cup celery, diced
1 cup carrot, diced
1 cup mushrooms, sliced
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon dried dill
1 3/4 cup chicken stock
3/4 cup uncooked white rice
Salt and pepper to taste
In a large stock pot, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the kielbasa and brown the pieces for a few minutes; remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the pot and sauté the onions, celery and carrots over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the mushrooms and spices and cook for 2 more minutes, then add the rice and stock. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Add the cooked sausage to the rice and vegetables and stir. Season with salt and pepper and serve.
