Saute the onions, celery, peppers and garlic in olive oil.  Add the sausage and saute.  Add the blackening seasoning and saute. Add the tomato scraps, sauce, and chicken stock and allow to simmer for 30-45 minutes over low heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.  

A great addition would be chicken thighs or blackened shrimp to make this an even heartier meal.  Serve with cauli rice and enjoy!
