Boudin Rice One Pot Dinner

I love boudin, but boudin is hard to find outside of Louisiana. The following is a recipe inspired by boudin. Normally I hate recipes like this, the Rachael Ray "I'm not a real chef so I cook recipes "inspired" by recipes cooked by real chefs" crap that offends every gastronomic sensibility I have. Nonetheless, this is easy and quite tasty.

1 lb. good smoked sausage, finely chopped. Saute for several minutes, add a cup or so of chopped green onions, add a little salt and the cajun/creole seasoning of your choice. (I'll give mine below.) Let that cook for about ten minutes. Add 2 cups converted rice and 1 quart chicken broth, with a little more salt and seasoning. Let simmer till rice in tender. Add one more pinch of seasoning and serve with chopped parsley sprinkled on top.

My own cajun/creole file mix

1 part red pepper
2 parts black pepper
3 parts paprika (sweet spanish, not smoked or hot)
3 parts granulated garlic (not garlic powder)
1 part each: sage, oregano, thyme
