A1 ULTIMATE JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Heat a little oil in a frying pan and brown the chicken skin side down on a high heat. Transfer to a large pan leaving the oil in the frying pan. Do the same with the chorizo sausage and keep the oil in the frying pan. You only want to brown and not cook the meat as it will cook further later on.
• Next fry the onions and peppers on a medium heat for 5 minutes or so until softened and just starting to colour. Now add the garlic, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper, salt, bay leaves and thyme to the pan and fry for 2 mins stirring all the time and making sure nothing burns. Turn the heat down if necessary. Add everything to the large pan with the chicken.
• Add the rice, shrimp, sugar, stock cube and butter to the large pan.
• In a blender put the roasted red peppers, tomatoes and water together and blend until smooth.
• Measure out 3 cups of this liquid (you may need to add more water) and add to the large pan. Bring everything to the boil.
• Now transfer to a large glass microwavable bowl. Seal tightly with cling wrap and microwave on high for 15 - 20 minutes depending on your microwave. If it looks like the rice is still wet, microwave again for 5 more minutes or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
• Leave to stand for at least another 20 minutes but will keep warm for longer than an hour.
• Best served warm not too hot, with plenty of Tabasco or other hot pepper sauce.

JAMBALAYA I

Steps:

• In a slow cooker combine and thoroughly mix the ham, onions, celery, bell pepper, tomatoes, tomato paste, garlic, parsley, thyme leaves, cloves, salad oil and rice. Cover and cook on low for 8 to 10 hours.
• One hour before serving, turn slow cooker to high. Stir in the uncooked shrimp. Cover and cook until the shrimp are pink and tender.

JAMBALAYA DELUXE

Steps:

• Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in the chicken and garlic, followed by the sausage links. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sausage is firm enough to slice, about 10 minutes. Slice the sausages into 1/2 inch thick pieces, and return to the pot.
• Puree the stewed tomatoes, diced tomatoes, and tomato paste in batches using a blender. Stir the tomato mixture into the pot along with the shrimp boil. Bring to a simmer and cook for 15 minutes. Stir in the clams, mussels, shrimp, and scallops, then simmer 30 minutes longer. Remove from the heat, and allow to stand for 15 minutes.
• While the jambalaya is cooling, bring a large pot of lightly-salted water to a rolling boil; stir in the angel hair pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink. Serve the jambalaya over the cooked pasta.
