Cut sausage into round pieces. Chop up peppers and onion, mince garlic, and rinse rice till water's clear.

Add oil to a big pan on medium heat. Fry sausage for 5-7 minutes until edges are crispy. Take it out and set aside.

Using the same pan, cook onion and bell peppers for 3 minutes until soft. Toss garlic in and cook just 1 more minute.
