A friend of mine from Louisiana told me once that the best food in the world could be found there. Having sampled some of their quisine a few times..I believe it! Here is a dish from Louisiana that I think will more than prove my point!
Ingredients:
1 Package of Sausage
1/2 White Onion
1 Can of Stewed Tomatoes
1 Can of Rotel Tomatoes
Cajun Seasoning
Extra Virgin Olive Oil (I use a brand called Chili Rojo as it gives it a bit of kick)
Rice
Directions:
1. Chop the Sausage and half an Onion up into pieces.
2. Lightly coat the bottom of the pan with your oil so your Sausage doesn't stick.
3. Combine Sausage, Onion, Oil, Pan, and Heat and start to brownin the items...
4. Now that the Sausage and Onions are ready to go, it's time to add the rest of the ingredients.Just dump in both cans liquid and all. The liquid is what's going to make the sauce.
5. Now it's time to sprinkle on the Cajun seasoning... Just season to taste.
6. Let it simmer down now...Turn the stove down to low heat. It takes about 20 minutes to simmer down to where it should be. This is perfect because that is just about the time it takes to make the rice...
7. Your gonna need two and a half cups of water and rice .It's a good idea to throw a dab of butter in the water so the rice doesn't stick to the pot as easily. Makes for fluffier rice too. I'd add a pinch of salt with some herbs to the water as well, just for the flavor.
8. Throw (or pour) the water, butter, and (in my case) salt and herbs in a pot and bring everything to a boil. When the water is boiling and the butter and salt melts, pour the rice in the pot, give it a stir, throw the lid on, and turn the heat down to simmer. Set the timer for 20 minutes and sit back and enjoy a tasty beverage(Beer,Kool Aid, Ice Tea, et al) while your rice cooks and your creole simmers down...
9. Once the timer goes off, remove the rice pot from the burner and grab your bowls and utensils. IT"S TIME TO CHOW DOWN BABY!!! Oh, uh excuse me...I got a little excited there..heh heh heh heh!
10. You can add a little sprinkle of Tony's and a little Tabasco to make yours hotter and spicier if that's your thing.
