Ingredients List

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, or as needed

  • 1 pound kielbasa (Polish) sausage, halved lengthwise and sliced

  • ½ sweet onion (such as Vidalia®), diced

  • 6 miniature multi-colored sweet peppers, diced

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • ¼ teaspoon celery salt

  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes

  • 1 cup quinoa

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • ½ cup marinara sauce


Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir sausage until browned, about 5 minutes. Add onion to sausage; cook and stir until slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir sweet pepper, oregano, thyme, cayenne pepper, celery salt, and red pepper flakes into sausage mixture; cook and stir until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add more or less cayenne for your heat preference, or drizzle with Sriracha for a real kick in the pants.
