Jumbalaya image

This is a modification of an old PBS Jeff Smith "Frugal Gourmet" recipe. I put it here because the 3x5 card is starting to fade the recipe, and I want to print it out. I am guessing on the yield. It serves my husband and I for a couple days. I am also guessing on the sizes of the cans. The broth can is a typical broth can and the tomatoes are the big cans. This is a very easy recipe. Add more/less pepper sauce to your heat preferences. Any pepper sauce will do just fine.

Time 3h

Yield 8 8 ounce bowls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 -2 lb pork back ribs, parboiled
1 lb ham
1 lb sausage
1 lb shrimp, de-veined and peeled
1 onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped
3 celery ribs, chopped
3 -5 garlic cloves, chopped
3 tablespoons oil, canola
1 (20 ounce) can tomatoes, crushed
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
3 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
2 (14 ounce) cans broth
2 cups converted rice

Steps:

  • Use any combination of the meats, but the shrimp is a must. I like using parboiled brats for the sausage, but kielbasa is OK. There is no need to parboil fully cooked meats, and do NOT pre-cook the shrimp.
  • Saute the raw veggies (the holy trinity of Cajun cuisine) in the oil until the onion is translucent. Add tomatoes (do not drain), Worcestershire and Tabasco sauces, Simmer 30 minutes.
  • Add meat (not shrimp, yet) and broth. Cover and simmer 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
  • Add shrimp, then stir in rice. Cover and simmer until all liquid is absorbed. If rice is not quite done, add water, 1 cup at a time, and continue to simmer until rice is done to your taste. (think risotto).

This jumbalaya was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. The rice was cooked perfectly and the chicken and sausage were very flavorful. I would recommend using less cayenne pepper if you don't like spicy food.

This jumbalaya was easy to make and very flavorful. I used shrimp and crawfish instead of chicken and sausage, and it turned out great. The sauce was perfect and the rice was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This jumbalaya was a bit disappointing. The rice was overcooked and the chicken was dry. The sauce was also a bit bland. I think I will try a different recipe next time.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this jumbalaya with tofu instead of chicken and sausage. It turned out great! The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce perfectly and the vegetables were cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.

This jumbalaya was easy to make and very flavorful. I used chicken thighs instead of breasts and it turned out great. The sauce was a bit too thin for my taste, so I added a cornstarch slurry to thicken it up. Overall, I was very happy with this reci
