Andouille Sausage And Basmati Rice Recipes

ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE RICE POT

Steps:

• Slice the andouille sausage into thin coins on the bias.
• Add the olive oil to a large nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the sausage and onion and saute until the sausage is seared and browned. Add the garlic, peppers, squash and zucchini, season with salt and pepper and lightly saute about 2 minutes (you still want the zucchini and squash to have a bite and be very al dente). Add the rice to the pan with the sausage and veggies, stirring to coat the rice with all of the flavors. Add the stock and saffron. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the rice is done, 10 to 15 minutes. Fold in the diced tomatoes and parsley.

SAUSAGE AND RICE CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet with a tight-fitting lid over medium-high heat. Add the sausage slices and cook for a few minutes on each side, until brown, about 5 to 8 minutes total. Remove to a plate, blot with paper towels to remove any excess oil, and set aside. (Tip: To finish this meal in 30 minutes, prep the peppers and onions while the sausage browns.)
• With a paper towel, carefully wipe the skillet until it is mostly clean. Heat the remaining tablespoon olive oil over medium high. Add the bell peppers, onion, basil, salt, and pepper and cook until the onion begins to soften and brown, about 3 minutes. Add the rice, garlic, and red pepper flakes, stirring to coat the rice. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the chicken broth and canned tomatoes in their juices, stirring well. Bring to a boil, stir again, then cover and simmer on low heat for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the reserved sausage slices until evenly distributed, then re-cover the skillet and remove from the heat. Let stand 5 minutes, until most of the remaining liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. Sprinkle with parsley and serve warm.
