Equipment

  • 1 large skillet or frying pan
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups
  • 1 measuring spoons
  • 1 cutting board
  • 1 rice cooker (optional)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound gluten-free sausage (such as andouille or Italian sausage)
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups chicken broth (gluten-free)
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 2 stalks celery, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Remove the sausage from its casing and crumble it into the skillet. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes, breaking it apart as it cooks.
  • Add the diced onion, green bell pepper, and celery to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for another minute until fragrant.
  • Sprinkle the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper over the mixture. Stir well to combine.
  • Add the rice to the skillet and stir to coat it in the sausage and vegetable mixture.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice is cooked and has absorbed the liquid.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and taste for seasoning, adjusting as necessary.
  • Serve the dirty rice hot, garnished with sliced green onions and chopped parsley.

For added flavor, consider incorporating diced mushrooms or tomatoes into the recipe.
If you prefer a spicier dish, feel free to increase the amount of cayenne pepper or add hot sauce to taste.
