Red beans and rice with andouille sausage:

I didn't follow a recipe - I was just winging it. I'm open to suggestions.

Ingredients:

3-4 stalks celery (diced)

1 Green Bell pepper (diced) (I will likely up this to 1.5 or 2 next time I do it)

1 large-ish onion (diced)

3 cloves garlic (minced)

1 tablespoon tomato paste

1 cup (dry) rice - I used basmati

2 cups beef or chicken broth

2 cans red beans (drained and rinsed)

Andouille sausage

Green onions / spring onions / scallions to garnish

1-2 tablespoon neutral oil

Cajun seasoning of your choice (we are a tony's household)

Method:

Heat pan over medium-high heat, then add oil. Once shimmering, add sausage and cook until it looks delicious. Remove from pan and set aside

Dump onion in pan and saute until pleasantly browned

Add bell pepper, celery, and garlic.

Saute for 2-3 minutes then stir in tomato paste.

Add rice, let toast for 60-90 seconds. Stir in your cajun seasoning.

Add broth, bring to a boil, cover. Then reduce heat to a simmer.

Allow to simmer for ~20 minutes or until the rice soaks up all that tasty broth.

Stir in your beans. Boom red beans and rice.

Top with your sausage and green onions.

"One pan pesto chicken with veggies":

I lifted this recipe from a post about a week ago by /u/legallybrunettish.

Recipe here.

I just added (gluten free) pasta to the dish.
