I threw this together one night and my husband raved and raved about it. I hope it gets raves for you, too. :)
Ingredients:
2 cups water
1 cup rice
1 cup onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 lb smoked sausage, cut into bite-sized pieces
2 (15 ounce) cans beans, undrained (red or kidney)
1 bay leaf, crushed
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons dried parsley (or 1/3 cup fresh)
Directions:
1. For the rice: In a medium pot with a tight-fitting lid, combine water and rice. Bring to a boil with the lid off. Reduce to low heat, cover and set timer for 20 minutes. Leave covered. Do not remove lid until finished.
2. For the red bean mixture: Sauté onions, celery and garlic in oil until softened on medium high heat. Add chopped sausage and cook 5 minutes. Stir in undrained beans, crushed bay leaf and salt. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes. Stir in parsley and cook 5 minutes more. Pour over rice.
