Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Sausage

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the house ground pork sausage and cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. 2

    Sauté Vegetables

    Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, celery, and minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for another 5 minutes until the vegetables are softened.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Stir in the cooked red beans, Carolina gold rice, bay leaves, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

  2. 4

    Add Broth

    Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil.

  3. 5

    Simmer

    Reduce heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the rice is fully cooked and has absorbed most of the liquid.

Finishing Touches

  1. 6

    Serve

    Remove the bay leaves, and spoon the cassoulet into bowls. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
