Cook rice according to its directions, and set aside.

Cook chicken in some of the white wine and light seasoning, and set aside.

Melt butter and/or oil in a large stockpot.  Add onions, garlic, shrimp, sausage, and chicken.  Cook until shrimp just turns pink.  Add ½ cup white wine and simmer 5 minutes.  Add seasonings (cumin and Creole), tomato sauce, rice and beans.  Mix together well, and heat for 15 minutes, or until it is hot throughout.  Serve when you think it’s ready!


[Double the recipe for 2/3 of a 12-quart stockpot full.]
