The ingredients for Cajun Red Beans and Rice are:

2 cups brown rice
2 cloves of garlic
1 can red kidney beans
3 large mushrooms
.5 large onion
2 tbsp canola oil
2 large turkey sausages
.25 cup tomato paste
3 tsp cajun seasoning
sugar/agave (optional)

Here is how you make Cajun Red Beans and Rice:

Boil rice according to box instructions (I used quick boil brown rice, which takes ten minutes). On another stove burner, Heat oil in skillet. Mince garlic cloves and simmer for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Meanwhile, chop turkey sausage into bite size pieces trying not to lose too much of the sauce/fat. (Alternatively, you can boil the sausage in a separate pot if you want most of the fat to drain out). Simmer sausage with garlic in skillet. Wait 3-4 minutes until sausage is mostly cooked , then add chopped onion. Stir until onion softens and sausage cooks through. Add tomato paste, cajun seasoning and sugar (if the tomato paste is very tart). stir until the tomato paste reduces and flavors simmer. Add the can of red beans and simmer on low-medium heat. (If you want your sauce to thicken some, crush a few of the red beans once they soften, and mix into the sauce. Once all the flavors have mixed well, add rice and stir.Serving Size: Makes 6 servingsNumber of Servings: 6Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user LATOUCHE.RAY.
