my jambalaya recipe:Hardware:frying panlarge potmedium potingredients:2 bell peppers1 large onionminced garlic3 cups basmati rice4 chicken breast halves (as in 2 chickens worth of breast)smoked sausage (the more the better)1 can rotel1 6-pack tasty beer.Spices:tony cacheries (or zatarains, or other cajun seasoning)saltpeppertobasco to tasteOK. Start boiling the chicken. Use alot of water because you want to use it for broth later. Put alot of salt/pepper into the water with the chicken (for a better broth)Open a beer and drink it. (refill as necessary)Chop/dice the onions and bell peppers.cut the smoked sausage into pieces, 1/2" thick.Brown the sausage on the frying pan. (remember, its smoked, so, its already cooked meat, so this is easy. We're just cooking fat out.)Blot the sausage w/ paper towels once browned.Dump grease out if theres a ton left after browning sausage.Sautee the onion/bell peppers. Use the same pan you just browned the sausage in.Cut up the chicken (you will want tongs, this chicken has been boiling for a good while now). Save the broth!Now in your big pot:add 3 cups basmati riceadd 6 cups chicken broth wateradd 1 can roteladd sauteed onions/peppersadd garlic (i use alot)add tony cacheries/cajun seasoning of your choice (I use alot)Add browned sausage.Add tobasco if you want it spicier.Bring to boil, then simmer. Total time 20 minutes in big pot. Stir regularly, if you dont you will burn the rice on the bottom. It's done when the rice is done.Bon appetit!
