Couldn't leave New Orleans without still thinking about the food, so cooked this up when I got back.
Seasoned some boneless chicken thighs with salt, pepper and cayenne and threw on a really hot grill for a few minutes to get a nice char with some spicy sausage, I used Czech Stop's (http://thefatartery.blogspot.com/2011/03/czech-stop-west-tx.html) hot sausage, but I suppose any andouille sausage would do. Sauteed some chopped onion, green pepper and a clove of garlic in olive oil until it was soft, and then added the chicken and sausage to it, along with a can of San Marzano tomatoes, a little worcestershire sauce, a bunch of Crystal hot sauce, a couple of bay leaves, some hot paprika, marjoram and thyme and let that cook a few minutes before adding a cup of rice and a couple of cups of homemade chicken stock. Let it simmer for a while after that until the rice was done, then put a lid on it until it was time to eat.
Served it with crusty french bread and a whole lot more crystal. Damn good.
