Instructions
- Make the 4 servings of rice according to the instructions on the package and set aside when done.
- In a large skillet, heat the 1 tablespoon of oil on medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the sausage and spread it out evenly in the pan. Flip them often and cook for approximately 7 minutes, or until they’re nicely browned and crispy on the edges. Remove from the pan and set aside. Leave the oil in the pan.
- Add the onion, green bell pepper and celery.to the pan that you cooked the sausage in and stir often. Cook for approximately 5 to 7 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften and the onions begin to brown. Add the sausage back to the pan.
- Add the garlic, 2 teaspoon paprika, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, ¼ teaspoon cayenne (see note), and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to combine and cook for 2 minutes.
- Stir in the 3 tablespoon of the tomato paste until the sausage and vegetables are coated.
- Stir in the red beans, 3 cups of no-chicken (or vegetable) stock, 1 teaspoon of hot sauce (see note), and bay leaf and stir to combine. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for approximately 20 minutes, or until it thickens. Stir frequently to prevent scorching on the bottom.
- Taste and add more seasoning if necessary.
- Serve it in a shallow bowl with the rice, and garnish with the parsley.
Notes
- NUTRITION DISCLAIMER
- We use Beyond Meat Spicy Italian sausage or Field Roast Italian sausage.
- If you’re not a fan of spicy food, we recommend adding a pinch of the cayenne and tasting before adding more. The same goes for the hot sauce. Add slowly until it suits your taste.
- Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat on the stove or in a microwave.
