How to Make CREOLE RICE & ANDOUILLE

Step-by-Step

In a medium saucepan, combine the rice with broth or water. Bring to a boil; cover and simmer for 50 minutes; remove from heat and steam for 10 minutes.
In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat; saute onion and bell pepper for about 5 minutes; add garlic, tomatoes, herbs, pepper flakes and sausage. Heat through.
Spoon over rice and serve. Refrigerate any leftovers.
NOTE: You may also add 3/4 pound raw, cleaned shrimp, sauteed in 1 tbsp. butter for 3 to 4 minutes and add to sausage mixture.

Or you may add 1 cup cooked chicken to sausage mixture.
