Dirty Rice With Smoked Sausage Food

SMOKED-SAUSAGE AND OKRA DIRTY RICE

Steps:

• Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a 4-quart heavy saucepan, then add rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, covered tightly, over low heat until water is absorbed and rice is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand, covered and undisturbed, 10 minutes. Fluff rice with a fork and keep covered.
• While rice cooks, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10- to 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably cast-iron) over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté sausage in 2 batches, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per batch, transferring with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Add okra to skillet and sauté, stirring occasionally, until browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to another bowl.
• Heat remaining tablespoon oil in skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onions and bell peppers, stirring occasionally, until softened and browned, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté, stirring, 1 minute. Add okra, broth, black pepper, remaining 1/4 cup water, and remaining teaspoon salt and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened and level of liquid is evaporated to just below surface of solids, 10 to 15 minutes. Stir in sausage.
• Toss sausage mixture with rice, scallions, and salt and pepper to taste.

DIRTY RICE WITH BEANS & SAUSAGE RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Cut the sausage into coins and browned them in the Ninja on Stove Top High. Set aside. Turn your Ninja to Stove Top Medium and heat oil. Add the onion and sauté for 5 - 7 minutes, or until tender. Add the garlic, celery, green bell peppers, Cajun seasoning and thyme and sauté for 2 more minutes. Set aside. Add rice and about 3 cups chicken broth. Bring to boil, and turned down to Stove Top Low. The rice will need extra liquid in the Ninja. You may need to turn it back up to Stove Top Medium, if the rice still has a little bit of a "crunch." Check every 5 minutes or so and add liquid if needed (this also helps to ensure the bottom won't burn.) When there is about 5 minutes left in cooking add the sliced sausage, kidney beans, the sautéed vegetable mixture, and the green onions. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper, if desired. Serve immediately.
