QUICK JAMBALAYA



Quick Jambalaya image

This recipe makes quick work out of jambalaya by using leftover rice, and it tastes great with freshly cooked grains, too. To make this meal meatless, use vegan andouille sausage or stick with pork sausage, if you prefer. Either option, along with creole seasoning and the classic trinity of creole cooking - onion, celery and green bell pepper - result in a dish that is unmistakably Louisianan. Though many jambalaya recipes skip tomatoes, this version uses a blend of tomato paste and diced tomatoes to add bulk, and an acidity that helps lighten up the otherwise hearty one-pot meal.

Categories     grains and rice, main course

Time 35m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 links pork or vegan andouille or chorizo sausage (6 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
Salt and black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons sliced scallions

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice. Sprinkle with the creole seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and hot sauce and cook until warmed through. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with the scallions and serve with more hot sauce.

Tips:

  • For a flavorful jambalaya, use a variety of meats, vegetables, and spices. Chicken, shrimp, and sausage are popular choices for meat, while bell peppers, onions, and celery are common vegetables. Creole seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper are essential spices for jambalaya.
  • Cook the jambalaya in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. This will allow the flavors to develop and the rice to cook evenly.
  • Add the rice to the pot after the meat and vegetables have been cooked. This will prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Stir the jambalaya frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Serve the jambalaya immediately with your favorite sides, such as cornbread, coleslaw, or potato salad.

Conclusion:

Jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be tailored to your own taste. With its combination of meat, vegetables, and spices, jambalaya is a surefire hit with family and friends. Whether you are looking for a quick and easy meal or a special occasion dish, jambalaya is a great choice. So next time you are looking for something new to cook, give jambalaya a try!
