Red Beans and Rice with Smoked Sausage

Times:

15 minutes prep, 25 minutes cook

Ingredients:

1 pound smoked sausage, split lengthwise in half
1 teaspoon vegetable oil
1/2 cup smoked ham, diced (3 ounces)
1/2 cup onion, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 medium tomato, diced
2 cups chicken broth
1 16-oz can red beans, rinsed and drained
1 cup long grain rice

Cooking Directions:

Broil or grill sausage until browned, keep warm. Meanwhile, in a large, deep skillet with tight-fitting lid, saute ham, onion and garlic in oil until lightly browned, about 2-4 minutes. Stir in all remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat, cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 15-20 minutes. Serve immediately with grilled sausage.

Serving Suggestions:

Beans and rice spell “dinner” in many different languages, and when paired with a grilled smoked sausage, the dish becomes sublime. Serve with a green salad and hot French bread.
