¾ c. chopped onion
½ c. chopped celery (I always just do 3/4 c. green pepper and no celery)
¼ c. chopped green pepper
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 T. butter
2 c. cubed cooked chicken
8 oz. kielbasa sausage (yeah right! I use one bag of Sumeru Large Prawns. If you can't get that, just double the chicken)
4-5 tomatoes, chopped
1 c. condensed beef or chicken broth
1 c. uncooked long grain rice
1 1/2 c. water
1 t. sugar
Seasoning Mix (see below)
1 t. chili powder
fresh parsley for garnish
Seasoning Mix: (1/4 tsp Cayenne, 3/4 tsp White Pepper, 1 tsp Kosher Salt, 1/4 tsp Thyme, 1/2 tsp Rubbed Sage, 1/4 tsp Dried Basil, 1/2 tsp Black Pepper)
If you don't have white pepper, just do 1 3/4 t. black pepper. Also, I usually do more Thyme, sage and basil.
In a dutch oven, sauté onion, celery, green pepper, garlic, and sausage in butter until tender and browned. Add next nine ingredients. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 25 minutes.
Oh Sara Beth, I'm so aware of the trinity. Problem is we can pretty much never get celery in our country. So we do the best we can. And I would LOVE to try your dirty rice recipe, but there's no pork at all here, and the ground chicken... well, I never buy it. :) Too gristly and dry. Doesn't make a nice meal. I'll be sure to try it when I'm in the states next time though!
