Cut sausage into ½-inch slices. Lightly coat the

Place the sausage and shrimp into the steaming
tray; reserve.
Insert the cooking bowl into the Cuisinart
Rice Cooker/Steamer. Place the olive oil in the
bowl, cover, and turn on. After 1 minute, add
the onions, celery, green and red peppers, and
garlic; stir to coat with oil. Cover and cook 3 to 4
minutes. Stir in the rice, thyme, and chili powder.
Stir until rice is opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the
chicken stock and tomato sauce; tuck in the bay
leaf. Cover and cook for 10 minutes. Place the
filled steaming tray on the cooking bowl; cover.
Continue to cook until Rice Cooker switches to
Warm, 8 to 10 minutes longer. Let stand at Warm
for 5 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaf.
Gently toss rice mixture with steamed shrimp
and sausage. Add half the parsley and toss to
combine. Transfer to a warmed bowl to serve.
Sprinkle with remaining chopped parsley. Serve
with hot sauce if desired.
*Smoked chicken or turkey andouille sausage
has much less fat than traditional pork andouille.
It can be found in many well-stocked grocery
stores. Smoked turkey kielbasa can be
substituted.
