Andouille Sausage And Basmati Rice Food

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.

Steps:

• Cook sausage: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large heavy based pot over medium high heat. Add sausages and cook until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon.
• Cook onion and garlic: Add remaining 1 tbsp oil. Add garlic and onion, cook for 2 minutes. Add capsicum and cook for 2 minutes until onion is translucent.
• Add rice and liquid: Add rice, chicken stock, paprika, salt, pepper and the sausage. Stir, bring to boil, then reduce heat to low so it's simmering very gently.

CREOLE-STYLE WHITE BEANS AND ANDOUILLE SAUSAGE OVER RICE

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium high heat. Add the ham hock, onions, celery, and bell pepper and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are soft, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the bay leaves, thyme, and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the beans and chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat so that the beans just simmer and cook, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the skin on the beans is tender and the beans begin to soften, about 2 hours. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the sausage and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are soft and creamy, about 1 hour longer*. (If desired, the ham hock can be removed at this point and either discarded or, when cool enough to handle, the meat can be removed from the bone and returned to the beans and the bone and skin discarded.) Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs and serve the beans and sausage over hot white rice.
• Pass the hot sauce at the table for guests to use at their own discretion.
