@therecipecollector: Down where cypress trees drip with Spanish moss and autumn fog rolls thick, old folklore tells of wandering phantom lights. When the weather turns cool, I love cozying up our dinner table with this eerie, enchanting stew. Dive spoon-first into a steaming, savory tomato broth loaded with tender vegetables, smoky sausage slices, and whimsical little rice-ball ghosts floating right on top. It delivers warm, delightful flavor in every bite. GET YOUR COOK ON with NancyG! Recipe Basics: Yield: Serves 4 to 6 people. Measurements: USA measurements (cups, tablespoons, ounces) with all quantities rounded up. Ingredients: * 3 cups short-grain white rice (cooked and slightly sticky, for shaping ghosts) * 3 cups vegetable broth * 2 cups crushed tomatoes * 2 cups sliced smoked sausage * 1 cup diced carrots * 1 cup diced potatoes * 1/2 cup sliced green jalapeños * 2 tablespoons olive oil * 1 teaspoon salt and black pepper * Small black peppercorns or black olive bits (for ghost eyes and mouths) Detailed Instructions: 1. Heat olive oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add sliced smoked sausage, diced carrots, and potatoes, sautéing for 5 minutes until lightly browned. 2. Pour in vegetable broth and crushed tomatoes, seasoning with salt and black pepper. Bring to a gentle boil. 3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until vegetables are tender and flavors are blended. Stir in sliced green jalapeños during the final 5 minutes. 4. While the stew simmers, wet your hands slightly and shape the warm cooked rice into small ghost-like figures with little arms and rounded bodies. 5. Press small black peppercorns or tiny pieces of black olives into each rice figure for spooky ghost eyes and mouths. 6. Ladle the hot stew into serving bowls and gently place a rice ghost on top of each bowl right before serving. Chef's notes by NancyG: For an extra layer of smoky warmth, add a pinch of smoked paprika or garlic powder to your tomato broth. You can substitute sliced chicken sausage or plant-based sausage if you prefer.
