Directions
1.
In a large pot, cook sausage and onion until sausage is no longer pink. Drain off fat. Stir in cinnamon and allspice; cook for 1 minute.
2.
Stir in water, kidney beans, and rainsins. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Stir in tomatoes; heat through. If desired, garnish each serving with snipped fresh parsley. Makes 4 servings.

Dietary Exchanges
1-1/2 starch, 3 vegetable, 1-1/2-high-fat meat, 2 fat.

Test Kitchen Tip
For an alternative, try great Northern or navy beans in place of the kidney beans. To make the dish lower in fat, use half the amount of sausage (or use Italian turkey sausage) and double the canned beans.
