• 2 tablespoons Tomato paste
• 14.5 ounces Diced tomatoes (canned)
• 4 cups Chicken stock
• 2 cups Long-grain white rice
• 2 Bay leaves
• 1 tablespoon Creole seasoning
• 12 ounces Cooked crab meat
• 3 Green onions, sliced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the sausage and set aside.

Step 3

In the same pot, add the diced onion, celery, and green bell pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the tomato paste to the pot and stir to coat the vegetables. Cook for 2 minutes to caramelize the tomato paste.

Step 6

Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, rice, bay leaves, and Creole seasoning.

Step 7

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 8

Return the browned sausage to the pot and stir to combine.

Step 9

Gently fold in the cooked crab meat and cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the crab is heated through.

Step 10

Adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 11

Remove the bay leaves and discard.

Step 12

Garnish with sliced green onions and fresh parsley before serving.
