A quick throw together dinner, was SUPER delicious, and so adaptable too. Use whatever protein you have, whatever veggies you got, and throw them in, makes for an easy one pot meal. Hearty, spicy and satisfying! Melting pot is in the name because of the Spanish rice, the Italian sausage, and the creole influence of the Étouffée. Very delicious !
