1st off, I can not cook rice the old fashioned way to say my life. I always either burn it, or under cook it so it's still crunchy. Thankfully some wonderful person invented the rice cooker. That little sucker is the only reason anyone in my house gets to eat rice. For this recipe I cook to cups of rice (that's 2 cups raw), but I also feed 3 a half, and like to have lunch left over with this.
Things you need
1 Package smoked turkey sausage sliced in half length wise and then cut into bite sized pieces.
1 onion, finely chopped
2 bell peppers chopped
1 can of kidney beans (use 2 if you really like beans)
2 cloves of garlic finely chopped
Chili Powder
Cumin powder
Heat large pot to med heat, add beans. Heat pan to med/high heat. Add a splash of olive oil. Once hot add onion, garlic, and bell pepper. Sauté for about 3 mins then put into pot, leaving pan on hot burner. Add sausage to pan, sauté for about 5 min, then put in pot. Now you're done with the pan. To pot add chili powder to taste, and a pinch of cumin, or more for taste. If you don't have cumin, you can use cajun seasoning, but use a good amount of the cajun, since it's not very potent. I also like to toss in a few of my vegetable puree ice cubes. I like to add carrot, and broccoli because they don't alter the taste at all.
I also serve corn bread with this. I personally use Jiffy Cornbread mix, because it's just sweet enough.
