Butterbur: A Spring Bloom That Won't Make You Sneeze

This is a low-allergen recipe; it has no eggs, dairy, soy, or wheat but it’s still complex and flavorful.

Ingredients
6 chicken thighs, boneless and skinless, cut into 1-inch chunks
2 tsp canola oil
1 cup andouille sausage, chunked
1 onion, chopped
1 celery stalk, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
½ tsp cayenne pepper
1 tsp thyme, minced
1 tsp oregano, minced
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 14-ounce can whole, peeled plum tomatoes, with juice
1 14-ounce can tomato sauce
2 cups chicken broth
4 scallions, chopped
1 cup long-grain rice

Directions
In a large saucepan, warm canola oil over medium heat. Add sausage; sauté until crispy on the edges, about 8 minutes. Stir in onion, celery, green pepper; sauté until tender, about 5 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add chicken thighs, and sauté until lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Return heat to medium; stir in cayenne pepper, thyme, oregano, salt, pepper, and garlic. Continue sautéing about 3 more minutes.

Stir in tomatoes with their juices, tomato sauce, chicken broth, scallions, and rice. Bring to a simmer; reduce heat to very low, cover, and cook for 20 minutes.

Yield: 4 servings
