Step 1
Pour the oil into the bottom of a large skillet heated on medium-high. Swirl it around until the pan is well coated.
Step 2
Add the pork sausage to the skillet and break it up. As the sausage browns, turn the heat down to medium-low.
Step 3
If there is excess oil after the sausage browns, drain all but a tablespoon because you need some oil to help cook the onions and add flavor.
Step 4
Add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent.
Step 5
If you want to add the sliced zucchini, add it now. Sauté for about 5 minutes.
Step 6
Stir in the tomatoes. Mix well.
Step 7
Add the rice, water, salt, and pepper. Stir. Turn the heat down to low.
Step 8
Cover and continue to cook for about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender.
Step 9
Serve hot.
