Time 1h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb bulk pork sausage (use good quality sausage. My "HOT PORK PAN SAUSAGE" on this site works nice.)
1 lb andouille sausage, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces (preferable good quality andouille but other smoked rope sausage will work ok)
2 -3 lbs chicken pieces (breast, legs, thighs, a mixture of the three, or a small whole chicken, less giblets, cut up)
2 medium onions, chopped
2 medium bell peppers, chopped
6 celery ribs, chopped
8 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt
black pepper
creole seasoning
2 cups long grain rice, raw

Steps:

  • In dutch oven or stock pot add chicken pieces, barely cover with water and season with salt and pepper or creole seasoning.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to a slow simmer and cook, covered, 30 to 45 minutes until meat can be easily de-boned . Do not overcook or cook too fast or the chicken will be stringy. Reserve 5 cups of stock or reduce stock to 5 cups.
  • Remove chicken from pot, cool, de-bone, and cut into bite sized pieces, discarding skin and bones and setting aside the meat.
  • In Heavy skillet (I use a 12" well seasoned cast iron skillet) saute ground pork sausage in oil, scrambling with a spatula, until done. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside, leaving fat in skillet.
  • Add smoked sausage to skillet, cook until lightly browned. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon and set aside, reserving pan drippings.
  • Sauté vegetables in hot skillet with 3 TBS of reserved pan drippings (more if needed) until celery is tender and onion is clear to lightly caramelized. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In large heavy bottomed stock pot or dutch oven (at least 12 quart) add reserved chicken stock, rice, sausage, and vegetables, season to taste with salt and pepper or creole seasoning, bring to rapid boil, reduce to low heat, cover and cook for 30 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and rice is desired consistency. Do not remove lid during cooking.
  • Remove from heat and gently fold to mix together the ingredients as they tend to stratify during cooking. Don't get too aggressive or you'll break up the rice grains and mush it up.
  • Serve with a salad, garlic bread and iced tea.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the jambalaya will be. Look for fresh vegetables, flavorful sausage, and a good quality stock.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you add too much food to the pot, it will not cook evenly. Cook the ingredients in batches if necessary.
  • Let the jambalaya rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and develop. Cover the pot and let it sit for at least 15 minutes before serving.

Conclusion:

Louisiana sausage jambalaya is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its bold flavors and hearty ingredients, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
