Put a kick in your red beans and rice by adding some spicy sausage. Ingredients:
1 lb spicy smoked sausage |
1 large onion, diced |
2 celery ribs, diced |
3 garlic cloves, minced |
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning, divided |
2 cups long-grain rice, uncooked |
2 (14 ounce) cans chicken broth |
2 (15 ounce) cans kidney beans, rinsed and drained |
1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes |
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped |
hot sauce (optional) |
Directions:
1. Cut smoked sausage into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Cook in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat 8 to 10 minutes or until slices are browned. Remove sausage, and drain on paper towels, reserving 1 teaspoon drippings in pan.
2. Sauté onion and celery in hot drippings in Dutch oven over medium-high heat 4 to 5 minutes; stir in garlic, 1/2 teaspoon Cajun seasoning, and rice; sauté 3 minutes. Stir in broth, next 3 ingredients, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 15 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in sausage and parsley; let stand, covered, 10 more minutes or until rice is tender. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
