Gumbo Z'Herbes Ii

• 1 link andouille sausage, cut into approximately 1/2 inch dice
• 2 tablespoons grapeseed or other vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1 cup chopped onions
• 1/2 cup chopped celery
• 1/2 cup chopped bell or red pepper
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 4 cups chicken stock
• 2 pounds assorted greens: collards, turnip, beet, mustard, chard, kale, spinach, celery leaves, coarsely chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (use dried instead of fresh; it's a classic ingredient in Cajun spice blends.)
• Optional 1 cup of lentils
• salt, black pepper and cayenne to taste
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or to taste)
• a little Tabasco or Louisiana hot sauce if you like
• 2 cups Cooked white or brown rice for serving

1. Cook the sausage in a large Dutch oven over medium heat, turning once or twice until nicely browned. Scoop it onto a plate and set aside.
2. Heat grapeseed (vegetable) oil over medium heat till shimmering. Add onions, celery, bell pepper and salt, and saute, stirring occasionally till softened but not browned. Stir in garlic and let it sweat with the other vegetables for a minute or two. Add stock to the Dutch oven. Raise heat till it comes to just below boiling. Add greens a little at a time until they are all wilted into the soup. Add thyme, onion and garlic powders, smoked paprika, oregano and andouille into soup. Stir in 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce. Reduce heat to low, and simmer soup, uncovered, for at least 1 hour and up to 3 hours. (Throw the lentils in here if you're using them.) The vegetables will become mushy and the soup will be very green. This is what you're going for. Taste and add salt, fresh ground black pepper, cayenne, and more Worcestershire sauce to your taste. (I like a little Tabasco or other Louisiana hot sauce, too.)
3. To serve, place a scoop of rice into a bowl and pour soup over the rice.
