2 tablespoons unsalted butter (fat doesn't count as an ingredient!)

6 small or 4 large New Orleans-style or andouille sausage links, sliced into 3/4-inch ovals (rounds on the bias)

1 cup frozen chopped fire-roasted peppers and onion blend, thawed

1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon tomato paste

2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning blend

4 cups low-sodium chicken stock

4 to 6 cups prepared white rice, for serving

Your favorite hot sauce (but I prefer Crystal's here), for serving

Directions

In a large pot on medium heat, add the butter and sausage. Cook, stirring, until color and a light crust forms on most sides of the sausage, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper and onion blend and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the bright red of the paste becomes a muted reddish brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the Cajun seasoning blend and cook it the same way as the tomato paste, ensuring the spices bloom and become fragrant. Add the stock, bring to a simmer and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
Pour over prepared rice and hit with a shake of your favorite hot sauce.
