RICE WITH ANDOUILLE AND KALE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a medium-large, heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat. Add rice. Cook, stirring frequently, until rice turns a light golden color, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato puree. Cook for 8 minutes, frequently scraping the bottom of the pan to prevent sticking.
• Stir in broth, salt, sausage and kale. Cook, uncovered, until all the broth has been absorbed and air holes appear on the surface of the rice, about 20 minutes. Turn heat to very low. Cover the pot with a towel. Continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Adjust seasoning if needed and serve hot. Continue as in main recipe, adding the sausage and the kale with the chicken broth and salt. Continue as in main recipe. Serve hot.
