FINALLYWROTEITDOWN CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA



Finallywroteitdown Chicken, Sausage and Shrimp Jambalaya image

I've been making a kind of freestyle jambalaya for years; as the title says, I've finally written down a basic recipe for my creation. But don't let it end here; jambalaya is a dish that you can truly play around with. You could also add bell pepper at the point where you cook the onions and garlic (part of the holy Cajun trinity but I don't like cooked green pepper so I sacreligiously omit it); or use andouille sausage or add cubed pork or ham to the dish. My only real contingency is that you don't use beef, though... no place for that in jambalaya, IMHO. And as much as I love tomatoes, I do not care for them in my jambalaya, either.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

2 cups chopped onions
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried thyme

2 bay leaves
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup uncooked rice
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt

Steps:

  • In a large Dutch oven, cook the smoked sausage in the olive oil until browned; add the onion and garlic and saute until golden and transparent.
  • Add the uncooked rice and cook, stirring briskly, until just starting to turn golden, then add the chicken broth and Worcestershire Sauce, stirring to combine with the rice-sausage-onion-garlic mixture.
  • Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and add the cooked chicken, thyme, oregano, bay leaves, cayenne pepper, white pepper and black pepper.
  • Cook, covered, over low heat for about 30 to 40 minutes; add more liquid if you need to.
  • Then add the shrimp, cover, and cook for another 10 minutes or until shrimp is pink and cooked through.
  • Season to taste with salt and more pepper if you like.

CREOLE-STYLE RED JAMBALAYA WITH CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND SHRIMP



Creole-Style Red Jambalaya With Chicken, Sausage, and Shrimp image

Number Of Ingredients 18

14 ounces peeled whole tomatoes
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
1/2 pound chicken
1/2 tablespoon canola oil
1/2 pound cooked cajun or creole sausage
1/2 medium yellow onion, diced`
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 celery ribs, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon tomato paste
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1 dash cayenne
1 dash garlic powder
2 bay leaves
1/2 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
3 scallions, sliced

Steps:

  • Strain tomatoes and add juice to a 4-cup measuring cup. Place tomatoes in a medium bowl. Using your fingers, carefully tear each tomato open to release the liquid inside its seed compartments. Strain all this liquid into measuring cup. Crush tomatoes well with your hands. Add enough chicken stock to tomato juices to total 4 cups (960ml). Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook, turning, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, add sausage to Dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until just starting to darken, about 3 minutes; lower heat and/or add oil at any point to prevent burning. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of Dutch oven, until browned bits have come loose and vegetables just begin to turn lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in tomato paste and cook, stirring, until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add hot sauce, thyme, oregano, cayenne, garlic powder, and a very generous dose of black pepper. Add crushed tomatoes, tomato/stock mixture, diced chicken, and bay leaves and bring to a simmer. Season with salt, tasting liquid to ensure it is well seasoned.
  • Cover with lid and transfer to oven. Bake until liquid is fully absorbed and rice is tender, about 40 minutes.
  • Gently stir in shrimp and scallions and return to oven until shrimp are just cooked through, about 5 minutes. Cover pot and let rest 15 minutes. Remove bay leaves, if desired (see note).
