This was tonight's dinner. Came out pretty good - could have used a lot more
heat to it. A bit bland. I would add more hot sauce or hot chiles, I used
jalapeno and some green sauce as the original recipe called for.

NOTES : Risa's notes:
* If you can't find andouille sausage, use any type of smoked sausage you
can find.
** If you can't find Emeril's Kick It Up Green Pepper Sauce, use the kind
you have (such as Tabasco Green Sauce). If you can't find any type of green
sauce in your supermarket, use a red sauce. They are easy to find.
*** If you can't find basmati, use regular white rice (Uncle Ben's or
anything similar).
