- 1 can 14oz diced tomatoes (unsalted)
- 3oz tomato paste (1/2 can)
- spices to taste
This recipe fill nicely fit a 1.5Qt crockpot and will feed 2-3 people.
Preparation
- chop onion, green onion, mince garlic.
- remove all excess fat/skin from chicken thighs
- prepare sausage as detailed below
Directions
- Precook sausage. I know this is kind of unusual for a crockpot dish, but it's completely necessary to do. If you don't precook the sausage your finished product becomes unbelievably greasy. To prepare sausage, boil links under a low boil in a small pan for 15 minutes. Remove from heat, toss water, reduce heat to medium, and place pan over heat to dry out while you slice the links into 1/4"(or whatever size you want) thickness. Cook under medium heat for 5-6 minutes, then drain sausage on paper towels.
- Dump onions, garlic, tomatoes(undrained), tomato paste, frozen okra into crock. Mix.
- Dump spices into crockpot. I use salt, black pepper, paprika, cumin, chili powder, worcestershire sauce, and a little asian chili garlic sauce to give it some heat. But uh, use whatever you like to taste. Mix.
- Dump sausage and chicken into the crockpot and mix. Add splash of red wine.(how much wine I add depends on how much room is left in the pot at that point.)
- cook either on high heat for 5hrs, or low heat 8-9hrs.
Serve over rice.
