Ingredients
- 1/4 cup ghee
- 1 tsp Himalayan salt
- 2 crushed garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp Rustic Cajun Spice See my recipe
- 1 pound Bio Italian sausage links Kelbasa works too!
- 1 red bell pepper in strips
- 1 green bell pepper in strips
- 1 yellow bell pepper in strips
- 1 orange bell pepper in strips
- 1 large onion Sliced in rings
- 1 can organic black beans
- 1 cup hot sauce Frank's has no preservatives or sugar
Directions
- Step 1 Sauce
- Step 2 In a large saucepan place the ghee or oil of your choice. Heat on low and add the salt, garlic, and Rustic Cajun Spice. Keep this on low so the garlic doesn’t burn. The smell will fill the house. Now work on the veggies!
- Step 3 The Veggies
- Step 4 Slice the different colored peppers in strips and the onions in rings. Place in a colander.
- Step 5 Open the black beans and empty them into the colander along with the sliced veggies.
- Step 6 Rinse the veggies and the beans until the water runs clean. Isn’t this the prettiest thing you have ever seen? The colors are so BEAUTIFUL.
- Step 7 The Sausage
- Step 8 Slice the sausage.
- Step 9 Add the sliced sausage to the ghee and seasonings and simmer for 10 minutes. Making sure the sasuage is coated evenly. Turn the heat up a bit so the sausage sizzles. Add more Rustic Cajun Seasoning if you like.
- Step 10 Dump the veggies and black beans on top of the sausage and seasonings. It will be difficult to coat the veggies but give it a stir and some effort!
- Step 11 Pour 1 cup of your favorite hot sauce over the mixture and simmer for 15 minutes or until peppers are tender. TaDa! Pour over cauliflower rice.
- Step 12 Cauliflower Rice
- Step 13 Follow my cauliflower rice recipe or if you choose to use real rice, stir in 1 tsp of the Rustic Cajun Delight seasoning. Cook as directed.
I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
