Dirty Rice

Brown 1 pound of hot sausage in a hot skillet and remove the fat once browned.

Add 1/4 cup of butter and 1 medium chopped onion to the skillet, sauté until the onions are translucent with a little brown on the edges.

Add 2 cups of parboiled rice to the skillet and sauté until the tips of the rice are browned.

Add 3 tablespoons of parsley flakes, 1 tablespoon of granulated garlic, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of ground red pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of rubbing sage, and 2 pinches of thyme to the rice mixture and stir to combine.

Dissolve 1 chicken base in 1/4 cup of water and add it to the rice mixture.

Scrape the bottom of the pan to release browned bits from the sausage and onions.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then cover with a tight-fitting lid and reduce heat to low.

Cook for 20 to 25 minutes without lifting the lid.

After cooking, stir the rice to mix the sausage and parsley throughout.

Serve or store in a casserole dish with a lid or foil, and freeze if not using immediately.
