The Healthy Apron’s Paella!

1. Add 1 Tablespoon of olive oil to a large saute pan and add sausage. Cook at medium heat until just beginning to brown and then add onion and cook until translucent, stirring frequently (3-4 minutes). Add the garlic and rice and stir until rice is translucent (1-2 minutes).
2. Stir in paprika, tumeric, diced tomatoes, black beans, and chicken broth. Add salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cover and cook until most of the liquid has absorbed (45-60 minutes). Stir in peas and cook 1 more minute. Serve immediately.

*I would guess 3-4 hours in the crockpot would suffice OR 8 hours if it was on a very low setting. I have not tried this though so use your best judgement and let me know how it turns out!
