That link doesnt seem right, trying this tonight:

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil pure
  • 2 links chicken sausage all natural, cut into 1/2 inch slices
  • 1/2 medium onion(s) diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 large carrot(s) chopped
  • 1 can beans red, drained and rinsed
  • 1 cup chicken stock or bone broth low-sodium
  • 1/2 cup tomato(s) jarred, diced
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning no-salt
  • 1 cup quinoa raw

Directions

Heat the olive oil on medium high heat and sear the sausage for 2-3 minutes on each side or until dark brown and crispy. Remove the sausage and turn the heat down to medium.

Saute the onions, garlic, and carrot for 5 minutes.

Puree 1/2 cup of beans, 1/2 cup of chicken stock and the tomatoes in a blender until smooth. Add the tomato-bean puree, spices, remaining stock, remaining beans and sausage and cook for 20-25 minutes or until thick.

Rinse the quinoa and drain. Add two cups of water, bring to a boil and reduce heat to simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes or until water is absorbed.

Serve the red beans and sausage over the quinoa.
