Makes 4 servings
8 ounces andouille or other cooked spicy sausage, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 medium onion
1 teaspoon minced garlic
10 ounces frozen sliced okra, thawed
4 cups cooked long-grain white rice (about 1 1/3 cup raw)
1 tablespoon Cajun spice blend or prepared blend (see note)
In a nonstick skillet, add sausage and stir often until slightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add onion, garlic and okra; stir often until onion is limp, about 5 minutes.
Gently mix in rice and Cajun spice blend; stir occasionally until the rice is hot and golden and the okra is tender, about 5 minutes. Pour into a serving bowl.
NOTE: For Cajun spice blend, mix 3/4 to 1 teaspoon cayenne, 1 teaspoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. - From Sunset magazine, October 2002
