The fastest sausage gumbo

Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 6 small or 4 large New Orleans or andouille sausages, cut diagonally into 2cm pieces.
• 1 cup frozen fire-roasted sweet pepper and onion mixture, thawed
• 1 tbsp + 1 tsp tomato paste
• 2 tbsp. Cajun seasoning
• 4 cups lightly salted chicken broth
• 4-6 cups cooked white rice
• Your favorite hot sauce

Preparation:

1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add the sausage. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add the pepper-onion mixture and tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the paste turns a brick-red color, 5-8 minutes.
2. Add the Cajun seasoning and cook it the same way you would the tomato paste to release the flavor. Add the broth, bring to a simmer, and cook, uncovered, for 15 minutes.
3. Serve with rice and drizzle with your favorite hot sauce.
