Arroz cajun com carne

Ingredientes

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 pound ground pork breakfast sausage
• 1/2 pound ground beef ((I use an 80/20 mix))
• 1/2 cup diced yellow onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 cup diced red bell pepper
• 1 large clove garlic, (minced)
• 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley, (plus more for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
• 1 teaspoon Morton kosher salt
• 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning
• 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper ((delete if you prefer less heat))
• 2 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
• 1 cup long grain white rice
• 2 green onions, chopped

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Place a Dutch oven over medium heat and add butter. Once melted, add sausage and ground beef. Cook meat until almost fully browned – a little pink is okay (about 5 minutes or so).

2. 2

   Add onion, celery, and red bell pepper, and cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft and just beginning to brown.

3. 3

   Next add garlic, parsley, sage, salt, Cajun seasoning, and cayenne pepper. Stir and cook for an additional minute.

4. 4

   Pour in beef broth and gently scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add rice and bring mixture to a boil.

5. 5

   Reduce heat to low and cover with a lid. Allow rice to cook at a gentle simmer for 20 minutes, or until cooked to your liking.

6. 6

   Fluff the finished dirty rice with a fork. Garnish with additional chopped parsley. Chopped green onions are also nice.
