JAMBALAYA RECIPE (CREOLE)

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the sausage and chicken pieces with half of the Cajun seasoning.
• Brown sausage in the hot oil; remove with slotted spoon and set aside. Add remaining oil to the pot and sauté chicken until lightly browned. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Sauté the onion, bell pepper and celery until onion is soft and transparent. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant (30 seconds).
• Stir in the tomatoes; season with salt, pepper, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes (or Cayenne powder), hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and the remaining Cajun seasoning. Stir in the okra slices (or file powder), chicken and sausage. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring occasionally.
• Add in the rice and chicken broth, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low-medium. Cover and let simmer for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed and rice is cooked, while stirring occasionally.
• Place the shrimp on top of the Jambalaya mixture, stir through gently and cover with lid. Allow to simmer while stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink (about 5-6 minutes, depending on the size/thickness of the shrimp being used).
• Season with a little extra salt and pepper if needed and remove from heat. Adjust heat with extra hot sauce, Cayenne pepper or Cajun seasoning. Serve immediately with sliced green onions and parsley.

ONE POT JAMBALAYA RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a crockpot or large, deep saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken and sausage and saute for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and the sausage is lightly browned. Transfer to a clean plate and set aside.

• Add the diced tomatoes, chicken stock, rice, Cajun seasoning, thyme, cayenne, bay leaf, and stir to combine. Continue cooking until the mixture reaches a simmer. Then reduce heat to medium-low, cover and simmer for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is nearly cooked through, stirring every 5 minutes or so along the way so that the rice does not burn.
• Add the shrimp, ham, okra, and stir to combine. Continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are cooked through and pink. Stir in the chicken and sausage, and remove and discard the bay leaf.
• Taste season the jambalaya with salt, pepper, and additional Cajun seasoning if needed. Remove from heat and serve warm.

ONE-POT JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• In a large pot, heat 1 T olive oil and add the sliced sausage and 1/2 of the grill seasoning. Saute on medium-high until the sausage gets some color on it, then remove it and set it aside. Add in the chicken (adding more oil if necessary) and the rest of the grill seasoning and saute until the chicken is browned but not cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.
• Add the butter and a bit more olive oil to the pot and mix in the peppers, onions, celery and jalapenos. Saute on medium heat until the vegetables are softened, about 8 minutes. Add in the garlic and saute for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the cayenne, paprika, and red pepper flakes and saute for an additional minute to toast the spices.
• Stir in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the thyme, basil, parsley, oregano, and sugar. Simmer, partially-covered, over low heat for 20 minutes.
• Return the sausage and chicken to the pot. Stir in the rice. Cook for an additional 20 - 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is tender and the chicken is cooked through. Taste for seasoning and add salt and pepper as desired.
