Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°.
- In a heavy cast-iron or other ovenproof skillet, melt coconut oil over medium heat. Add garlic, onion and chili powder, and cook until onion is translucent, about 2 minutes. Add chicken sausage or Lightlife Smart Dogs and cook 6 to 8 minutes, until browned.
- Add spelt* or brown rice and chicken or vegetable broth. Reduce heat to medium and cook about 5 minutes.
- Add bell pepper, mushrooms, tomatoes with their juices, and oregano. Transfer skillet to oven and bake for 1 hour, or until vegetables and spelt are tender and liquid is absorbed. Spoon skillet mixture into a bowl and taste the goodness.
- *Soak spelt overnight to reduce the lectins and allow for a faster cook time.
