Preparation

Step 1

Heat Dutch oven or large saucepan over medium high heat. Add olive oil. When olive is hot, add onion, celery, peppers and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until vegetables are soft and golden, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add sausages, thyme, bay leaves, Cajun seasoning, and salt and pepper. Stir to combine. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes.

Add rice. Let toast for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and chicken stock. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork. Stir in parsley. Serve with hot sauce, if desired.
