I saw this recipe on a Today show segment with Padma Lakshmi. It is really good! I used chicken andouille sausage. I ended up needing to add more liquid than the recipe called for. Moving it here for safe keeping,

- Let the mixture simmer 5 more minutes and then turn off heat. Add juice of 1 lime and chopped fresh cilantro. Serve over plain rice.
