Zucchini, Sweet Pepper and Soy Sausage Pilaf

Steve Petusevsky
Serves: 4
 
This one pot meal is full of texture and bold flavors.  The results of this dish are somewhere in between Jambalaya and risotto.  Tender zucchini and soy based sausage form wonderful partners in this pilaf.  If you like spicy, add some crushed red chili flakes.
