In a medium pot combine all rice ingredients and bring to a boil on high heat. Once it is boiling lower the heat to a simmer and cover for 15-20 minutes or until rice is completely cooked.
For Sausage Mixture:
While the rice is cooking in a large sauté pan add olive oil and butter and heat on medium heat. Once that is melted and heated add the garlic and onions. Sauté for 5 minutes or until onions become translucent.
Next, drain and then add the can of tomatoes. Cook for another 5 minutes. Add salt and black pepper. White that is cooking chop up the split ope sausages in 1/2 inch slices diagonally.
Cook for 12 minutes. Once the rice is finished cooking add the yellow rice to the sausage mixture and cook together for another 5-10 minutes just to combine all the flavors. Add more salt and black pepper if you choose.
