"This recipe comes from "The Good Carb Cookbook" by Sandra Woodruff, M.S., R.D. Depending on how hot I want it, I sometimes use tomatoes w/green chiles instead of regular tomatoes. This is another one of those recipes that I can make most anytime because I usually have everything on hand."

When I was in NOLA (New Orleans Lousiana) I had ate this all the time and now that I am back in Oregon I wanted to cook more cajun/southern food and this recipe was perfect it captured it just like I rememberd. Thank you so much for this!

This was a fabulous meal - I used vegetarian sausages and otherwise followed the recipe to the letter and it was a great success. At one stage I thought I had made it too spicy but by the time the rice was added it was almost not spicy enough - almost !! My thanks to LARavenscroft.
