Cajun Sausage with Red Beans and Rice

There are numerous vegan sausages on the market now. True, I could make my own, but I haven't yet ventured into that territory. So, because a Whole Foods is just down the street from me, I get to buy them easily enough.

Cajun Sausage with Red Beans and Rice

1 T. olive oil
1/3 c. chopped onion
1/3 c. chopped green pepper
1/2 of a jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped
1 can red beans, drained
1 package Tofurky Andouille Sausages, sliced into coins
1 c. water
1 c. vegetable broth
1 t. apple cider vinegar
1 t. red pepper sauce
1 t. oregano
1 t. thyme
1/2 t. crushed red pepper
Cooked rice

In a skillet, heat the oil and saute the onion, green pepper, jalapeno, and sausage until vegetables are softened and the sausage is browned. Add the remaining ingredients, except for the rice, and heat through. Serve over the cooked rice. Enjoy!

Warning - it is pretty spicy! Adjust the heat as you like.
