Sausage Jambalaya

Instructions

1. 1

   Slice the sausage and brown it in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat for 5 minutes.

2. 2

   Add the diced onion, pepper and celery and cook 5 minutes until softened. Stir in the garlic, Cajun seasoning and thyme for 30 seconds.

3. 3

   Stir in the rice to coat it, then add the tomatoes with their juice and the broth. Bring to a boil.

4. 4

   Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer 20-25 minutes without stirring, until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed.

5. 5

   Rest 5 minutes covered, fluff with a fork, and top with sliced green onions. Use a mild sausage and go easy on the seasoning if your kids are spice-shy.
