Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or sauté pan
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 cutting board

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound smoked sausage (such as andouille or kielbasa), sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 green onions, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the diced onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are softened.
  • Stir in the rice, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, and salt. Cook for about 2 minutes, allowing the rice to toast slightly.
  • Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.
  • Let the rice simmer for approximately 20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  • Remove the skillet from heat. Fluff the rice with a fork and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing in cooked shrimp or chicken.
  • Adjust the seasoning to taste, especially if using different brands of sausages or broth which might vary in saltiness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop.
