Ingredients
-
1 turkey kielbasa
1 can dark red kidney beans, drained and rinsed.
2 cups brown rice
2 cups water
2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1 medium onion, chopped
1 green bell pepper, chopped
3 stalks celery, sliced
3 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1/8 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
Directions
1. Pour the water and chicken broth into rice cooker or a 1 quart saucepan with lid. Add the rice. Cook for 30-45 minutes, until rice has absorbed all the liquid.
2. While the rice is cooking, place the kielbasa on a foil-lined baking sheet and bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until heated through and casing has darkened.
3. Once the kielbasa is done, remove from oven and set aside to cool.
4. Heat olive oil in large frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion, bell pepper, celery, garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until onion is translucent.
5. Add kidney beans to mixture and turn heat to low, stirring occasionally.
6. Slice kielbasa into 1/4" slices and add to the frying pan.
7. Once the rice is finished cooking, add to the frying pan. Stir all ingredients together, cook another 5 minutes stirring often, then serve.
*Adjust crushed red pepper flakes for more or less "heat".

The wife cooked everything (minus rice) in the slow cooker. We didn't have the pepper flakes or the celery, but the taste was still good. Had some left over, so that will be lunch tomorrow. Saw a similar recipe with bay leaves and thyme in Taste of Home. Overall, we enjoyed and will eat again soon. - 8/22/10
