Made this for tonights supper, but thought it was a bit too salty. I did add more of the sausage, 1lb., plus I doubled the amount of cumin and chili powder (to spice it up a bit). I used an entire (6-ounce) can of tomato paste, as I didn't want to throw out the rest, but wished I would of added a can of tomatoes instead, as I much prefer bits of tomatoes in my Spanish Rice dishes. I also cut back on the amount of rice, and only added 1/2 cup, then cooked this for 30 minutes. If and when I make this again, I will eliminate the salt, make it with canned tomatoes, omit the tomato paste, and add some chopped green bell peppers, as I like them in my Spanish Rice Dishes as well. Thank you for the recipe Carrol.
