Amount Ingredient
Seasoning Mix: ----------------
2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cayenne
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp ground dried ancho chiles
1/2 tsp ground dried guajillo chile
1 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp white pepper
3/4 tsp black pepper
2 lb potatoes large dice
6 cup cabbage large dice
2 cup nonfat beef stock or veggie stock
4 x nonfat tofu hotdogs in 1/2" slices *
Instructions:
Instructions: * Original recipe called for 1 pound andouille sausage. You could probably use any highly seasoned lowfat turkey sausage with great success. This would also be good with only the potatoes and cabbage.

** Original called for 2 tbsp vegetable oil. I found the spices did fine in a little water.

Combine the seasoning mix ingredients. Put all the cabbage, 1/2 the potatoes, and 3 tablespoons of the seasoning mix in a deep, hot skillet.

Stir until all the ingredients are coated with the seasoning mix. Cover and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes. Reduce the heat. Add the stock and the remaining potatoes and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Add the nonfat hotdog slices just before the potatoes are fully cooked. (The hotdog slices only need to be heated as they are fully cooked when purchased.)

If you decide to use a lowfat seasoned sausage, cook it first, then add the seasonings and proceed with the recipe.

NOTES : Heres a great chile-head dish. Dont be turned off if you dont have (or know) the specific dried peppers Prudhomme calls for. He states in the intro to the book that the type of chile doesnt matter, but you do need to use a variety for the best results. I used 2 different hotter dried chiles (Arbol and Pasilla - I think - I used what I had stored in unlabelled plastic baggies :-) ).

We found the flavor to be extremely complex and wonderful. But I will admit that although it didnt seem hot while we were eating it, when we put the forks down, we both had "rushes". :-) By choosing milder chiles, and reducing the cayenne pepper, you can control the heat.

I didnt use any sausage (which was in the original recipe), but at the last minute I did decide to throw in some "Smart Dogs"

(nonfat tofu dogs - the BEST, IMHO) that needed to be used. They added some texture but definitely werent necessary.
