Instructions
- Heat oil in a dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add sausage and cook until well browned, stirring occasionally - appx 10 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside.
- Add celery, bell pepper, carrots, and onion to pot. Stir to combine and cook until softened and slightly browned - appx 10 minutes.
- Add garlic and seasoning. Cook, stirring constantly, 2 minutes to toast spices. Add hot stock and bring to a simmer.
- Add beans and simmer 20-25 minutes or until liquid has reduced by about a third. Use the back of a spoon to smash appx 1/4 of the beans against the side of the pot. This will thicken the sauce.
- Add sausage to pot and return to simmer for 20-25 minutes. Simmer until liquid has reduced to about half it's original depth or to your desired consistency.
- Reduce heat and stir in 1 Tbsp vinegar (acidic ingredient) and a few dashes hot sauce. Adjust acidic ingredient, heat, and salt to taste.
- Spoon into a shallow bowl and top with a scoop of rice. Garnish with chopped white or green onion and parsley. Serve with hot sauce on the side. Garlic bread is the perfect accompaniment.
