I use turkey sausage in this recipe to keep it relatively healthy. Feel free to use any kind of sausage of your choosing. Scale the cayenne & red pepper flakes up or down depending on your desired level of spice.

Instructions
Step 1
Slice the sausage. Add olive oil to a pan & sear the sausage. Really looking to gain some color and flavor the pan. Probably takes 3-4 minutes each side of sausage. Remove sausage once complete.





Step 2
Add in a dash more olive oil (if needed) & sauté the onion and garlic for about 3-4 minutes, or until soft and fragrant. Add in the bell peppers, Cajun seasonings (paprika, cayenne, red pepper flakes), and bouillon cube.












Step 3
Pour in dry white wine. Scrape bottom of pan to ensure flavors from the sausage mix into the veggies. Once reduced by 50% add in rice & cook for 3-4 minutes.




Step 4
Add the beans & sausage into the mixture. Pour in the chicken broth, add herbs, & bring to a low boil. Once low boil achieved, immediately reduced to a simmer. Cook partially covered until rice is completely cooked and liquid is absorbed (15-20 minutes). If liquid disappears and rice is not done, add water.
