How to Make Sausage Vegetable Pilaf

Soak 1/2 cup dried mushrooms in 1 cup warm water in a small bowl until softened, about 15 minutes. Prepare pilaf mix according to package directions (usually involves cooking rice according to package directions).
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add 1 pound Italian sausage (removed from casings), breaking it up into smaller pieces.
Sauté for 8-10 minutes, or until browned. Remove sausage to a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
In the same skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil.
Add 1 medium onion, chopped, 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Sauté for 6 minutes, until softened.
Add 2 cloves garlic, minced, and sauté for 2 minutes.
Drain the soaked dried mushrooms through a fine-mesh sieve lined with a paper towel, reserving the liquid. Rinse the mushrooms and chop them finely.
Add 1/2 cup chopped dried mushrooms, 1 cup sliced button mushrooms, and 1 cup chopped carrots to the skillet. Sauté for 4 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened.
Return the sausage to the skillet.
Add 1/2 cup of the reserved mushroom liquid.
Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes, or until most of the liquid is evaporated.
Add the cooked pilaf rice to the skillet along with 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Toss until well combined and heated through. Serve immediately.
