Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F. Spread chopped pecans on ungreased baking sheet and bake 5-7 minutes. Watch closely - pecans should be fragrant and darker in color but not too dark or burned.
-
In medium saucepan, bring water, rice, salt, black pepper and chicken bouillon granules to boil over high heat; stir and cover, reduce heat to low and simmer 15 minutes. Without removing lid; turn off heat and let stand 5-10 minutes.
-
Meanwhile, place oil and butter in large skillet (preferably cast-iron). Once hot, add diced onions, sprinkle with salt and pepper, stir well and turn heat to medium-low. Let onions cook 20-25 minutes, stirring every few minutes, until tender and golden brown. Add brown sugar and stir well. Cook 1-2 minutes more, stirring often; remove from heat and set aside.
-
In large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat, crumbling as it cooks. Add apple and cook until tender and sausage is cooked through. Add Southern Comfort and cook 1 more minute.
-
In large bowl, add cooked rice mixture, toasted pecans, caramelized onions, cooked sausage mixture, parsley, bouquet garni and ice water. Mix well.
-
Pour mixture into greased 1.5-quart casserole. Bake at 375°F for 30 minutes until heated thoroughly and golden on top.
