Ingredients
  

  • 3 ribs celery finely diced (125g)
  • 1 yellow onion finely diced (1 cup 150g)
  • 1 green bell pepper finely diced (1 cup 150g)
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 12-16 oz. smoked sausage sliced into half moons or rounds
  • 2 chicken thighs boneless skinless cubed (optional)
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • ½ Tbsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper
  • black pepper freshly cracked 15-20 cranks of a mill
  • 1 28 oz. can diced tomatoes or two 15 oz. cans
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • ¼ bunch fresh parsley chopped
  • 2 cups long grain white rice uncooked 370g
  • 3 green onions sliced

Notes

  • *The package of sausage I bought was 14oz, but any amount from 12 to 16oz (¾ to 1 lb) will work just fine. Andouille sausage is the traditional choice, but you can use any smoked pork sausage you like.
  • **I use Better Than Bouillon to make my broth.
