When veggies are soft, add in the tomatoes and cook uncovered until the tomatoes start to release their liquid.

Stir in the par-cooked rice (with any liquid in the pan) and simmer together, stirring occasionally, until the rice is nearly done

Add in the sliced sausage and cook til nearly warmed through
