Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound bulk sweet Italian sausage
1 clove garlic, minced
1 yellow onion, slivered
1 small green bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced lengthwise
1 small red bell pepper, stemmed, seeded and sliced lengthwise
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
Pinch chile flakes
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1/2 cup dry red wine
One 14.5-ounce can diced tomatoes with liquid
4 cups cooked white rice
2 tablespoons thinly sliced fresh basil leaves
2 tablespoons chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 cup jarred oil-packed giardiniera (pickled Italian vegetables), drained and roughly chopped
Aged provolone, for grating

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the sausage, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer the meat to a bowl.
  • Add the garlic, onion, green pepper, red pepper, paprika and chile flakes to the pan. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until the paste begins to caramelize, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour in the wine and cook until nearly evaporated, about 1 minute. Add the tomatoes with their juices and simmer until very thick and the liquid is evaporated, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Stir the cooked sausage into the peppers and onions along with the rice, basil and parsley. Cook briefly until heated through.
  • Divide the mixture among 4 shallow bowls. Scatter about 1/4 cup of the chopped giardiniera over the top of each and garnish each bowl with some grated provolone. Serve immediately.

The gumbo was okay. The broth was a bit bland and the chicken and sausage were a bit dry.

This gumbo was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The chicken and sausage were cooked perfectly and the broth was flavorful.
