Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. When the oil is hot toss in the sausage and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the sausage begins to brown. 

Add the onion snd bell pepper. Saute for 5 to 8 minutes until soft. Add the garlic, tomato paste, paprika, spice blend, salt, pepper and red pepper. Stir for about 1 minute until the garlic and spices are fragrant. 

Add the rice, chicken broth, diced tomatoes (along with the juices) and tomato sauce. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape the bottom of the skillet and loosen anything that may be stuck to the bottom. Stir well to coat all the rice grains. 

Bring to a simmer then turn the heat down to medium-low and cover with a lid. Cook on medium-low heat for 25 minutes. 

Remove from heat but keep the lid on and let it rest for 15 minutes.

Remove the lid, stir and serve.
