Instruction

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the sausage and chicken liver if using, then cook for 4-5 minutes, breaking up the meat into small pieces with a spatula.

  • Cook for 4-5 minutes or until vegetables have softened.
  • Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
  • Add the Cajun seasoning, thyme, salt, pepper, bay leaf, rice and chicken broth to the pot. Stir, then bring to a simmer.
  • Cover the pot and turn the heat to low. Cook for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed.
  • Let the rice stand for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. Stir in the green onions and fluff the rice with a fork.
  • Sprinkle with parsley, then serve.
