Bedrock Press ~ Lagniappe Recipe

Cajun Spicy Rice & Sausage

1/4 c. vegetable oil
1 lb. smoked sausage (see Recipe Note)
1 (10-oz.) can diced tomatoes and chilies, do not drain
1-1/2 c. canned chicken broth
1 (10½ -oz.) can condensed French onion soup
1 c. uncooked long grain white rice

To prepare sausage and rice: Heat cooking oil in a heavy 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Slice smoked sausage into 3- to 4-inch pieces and cook in hot oil, turning often, until evenly browned (10 to 12 minutes). Add canned tomatoes and chilies with liquid and cook over high heat until tomatoes are well sauteed and liquid has reduced (approximately 10 minutes). Stir in chicken broth, undiluted French onion soup and rice. Tightly cover skillet and cook over medium heat until rice is fully cooked (approximately 20 minutes). Remove from heat and (leaving skillet covered) allow sausage and rice to “rest” for 15 minutes before serving. Freezes beautifully. Yields 4 generous servings.
Recipe Note: As a matter of personal taste, smoked hot or mild pork, beef, turkey or deer sausage may be selected to prepare this recipe.
Recipe Variation: This recipe may also be prepared by substituting sausage with 4 lean pork chops (cut approximately 1/2-inch thick).

New Labels for Seafood in U.S.

Have you noticed the new stickers on seafood? This is the result of the seafood rules issued last fall by the United States Department of Agriculture and effective April 4, 2005.

Now seafood retailer’s labels on fresh and frozen fish and shellfish must state the country of origin and the method of production -- whether raised on a farm or caught in the wild.

Many people want to know where their seafood originates and the new labeling will allow the public to make informed decisions about the seafood they purchase.

You should already be seeing these new labels in your local supermarkets; however, you will not find the information at freestanding fish markets and exporters, or at food service establishments, such as restaurants, salad bars, delis, and cafeterias.
