Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
2 celery ribs, sliced
1 medium onion, chopped
1 medium green pepper, chopped
1 package (14 ounces) smoked turkey sausage, sliced
1 carton (32 ounces) reduced-sodium chicken broth
1 can (16 ounces) kidney beans, rinsed and drained
1-1/4 cups uncooked converted rice
1/3 cup tomato paste
1 bay leaf
1-1/2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Hot pepper sauce, optional

Directions

In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add celery, onion and green pepper; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 3-4 minutes. Add sausage; cook until browned, 2-3 minutes.
Stir in broth, beans, rice, tomato paste, bay leaf, Cajun seasoning and cayenne pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, until rice is tender and liquid is absorbed, 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Discard bay leaf. If desired, serve with pepper sauce.

Test Kitchen tip

Also called parboiled rice, converted rice is the unhulled grain that has been steam-pressured before milling. This process retains nutrients and makes fluffy separated grains of cooked rice. Converted rice takes slightly longer to cook than regular long grain rice.
