Jambalaya
Author: MaryJane
Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: Cajun
Serves: 6
- 2 Tbs. butter
- ½ cup green pepper
- ½ cup onion, diced
- ½ cup celery
- ½ cup rice
- 1 cup cubed, cooked chicken
- 1 cup water
- 1 can diced tomatoes (or one quart whole, canned tomatoes)
- ½ lb. kielbasa, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 ½ tsp. bullion (2 cubes)
- ½ tsp. paprika
- ⅛ tsp. thyme
- ⅛ tsp. cayenne pepper
- ⅛ tsp. black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup shrimp (if desired)
- Melt the butter in a large skillet, then add the garlic, green pepper, onion, and celery. Saute until the onion is clear.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring mixture to a boil. Boil for 3 – 4 minutes. Stir carefully so as not to splash tomato on yourself.
- Turn the heat to “low” and give the dish a final stir. Put the lid on the skillet, and simmer the Jambalaya for 20 – 25 minutes.
- If you’re including shrimp in your Jambalaya, add it now, cooking for an additional 4 – 5 minutes, or until pink.
- Remove the bay leaf, give the Jambalaya a quick stir, and serve warm with fresh-baked rolls.
