Rice Cooker. Place the olive oil in the Rice Cooker
Bowl, cover, and turn on for 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 Rice 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.
