1/4 cup oil
1 lb. sausage, sliced
1 chicken, cut up, or 2 lb. peeled shrimp
2 cups chopped onion
1 cup chopped celery
1 cup chopped green pepper (I use red, yellow or orange)
1 Tbsp. chopped garlic
5 cups stock (you can use beef or chicken bouillion cubes) I buy it in the carton, it comes 4 cups to one carton so you need 2 cartons.
1 Tbsp. paprika
1 tsp. salt
1/3 cup. Joe's Stuff (this is a hot , spicy Cajun seasoning) or something not spicy. **We used a very scant 1/3 cup Tony Chachere Creole seasoning**
1 cup chopped green onions
2 cups long grain rice.
In a very large pot, add the oil and saute the sausage. If you are using the chicken, add it also at this time. Remove the meat; saute the onions, celery, green pepper, and garlic to the tenderness that you desire. Return the meat to the pot; add liquid, salt, Joe's Stuff, paprika, and other desired seasonings. Bring to a boil. Add rice and return to boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for a total of 30 minutes. After the first 10 minutes of cooking, remove cover and quickly add green onions. Turn rice from top to bottom. Return cover. The last 10 minutes, if using shrimp, add them at this time.
If you need to add liquid, always use stock or a flavored water from the bouillion cubes.
