Easy Red Beans and Rice

I’m a sucker for any combo of beans and rice. I think this is my favorite, though, because finding appropriate seasonings in Germany (blackening spice? good quality pepper sauce?) can be difficult, so we don’t get to enjoy these flavors that often.

475 ml Water
185 g cooked rice
450 g spicy sausage, sliced
1 onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
1 clove chopped garlic
2 (15 oz.) cans canned kidney beans, drained
1 (16 oz.) can whole peeled tomatoes, chopped
2 tsp blackening spice
0.8 g dried oregano
1 tsp pepper sauce
salt to taste
1 g pepper
3/4 C chicken broth bullion

1. In a saucepan, bring water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
2. In a large skillet over low heat, cook sausage for 5 minutes. Stir in onion, green pepper and garlic; sauté until tender. Pour in beans and
tomatoes with juice. Season with oregano, salt an dpepper. Simmer uncovered for 20 minutes. Serve over rice. Season with hot pepper sauce if you like.
Prep Time. approx. 10 minutes. Cook Time: approx. 30 minutes.
Ready in: approx. 40 minutes. Makes 8 servings.
