Red Rice Sausage Recipes

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Add sausage and cook, stirring occasionally, until crispy, about 8 minutes. Add onion, garlic, red pepper, and celery; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until celery is tender, 8 minutes. Add tomatoes and cook until slightly thickened, 3 minutes. Add rice and cook until warmed through, about 2 minutes.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees and coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• In a large (12-inch) heavy skillet over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp, about 3 minutes per side. Remove the bacon to paper towels to drain, leaving behind drippings. Crumble the bacon and set aside.
• In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, celery, bell pepper and 1 teaspoon salt, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant, another 30 seconds.
• To the skillet, add the rinsed rice. Stir and toast the rice for 30 seconds. Add the crumbled bacon, tomato purée, stock, hot sauce, Cajun seasoning, sugar, pepper and cayenne.
• Bring the rice and vegetables to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes. Taste and add salt, if needed.
• Carefully transfer ingredients to the greased baking dish. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil, and bake until the rice is tender, about 40 to 50 minutes. Check the rice after about 30 minutes to make sure all the liquid is absorbed, and the rice is tender. (If it's too dry or not cooked all the way through, add a few tablespoons of water or stock at a time, if necessary, and cook a little longer.) Fluff with a fork before serving and garnish with parsley leaves.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a heavy pan over medium heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Add the onions, green peppers, and celery. Cook for 3 minutes. Add the water, tomato sauce, salt and pepper. Heat to boiling. Stir in the rice. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook covered, until rice is tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered until time to serve.
• NOTE: I sliced my sausage into 1/4 inch slices and used 1 pound of sausage.

Steps:
