Jambalaya is a dish that originated in New Orleans, USA. It is a kind of mix and match made from all the left overs in the fridge. Jambalaya is a fabulous and tasty recipe full of flavors of the deep south.
Ingredients
- 500 g chicken cut in strips
- 200 g prawns
- 2 peppers different colours
- 200 g smoked sausage or ham
- 2 onions
- 4 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon turmeric for colour
- 1 lime juice
- 1 tbsp cane sugar
- 6 dl boiled water
- 2.5 dl rice
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 2 tablespoons cooking oil
Instructions
- Dice the onions and peppers. Dice the sausages as well.
- Spoon a generous amount of cooking oil into a wok pan or large pot. Sauté the onions in the wok, then add the chicken and fry colour on them. Add the sausage (or ham) and peppers. Fry for a couple of minutes.
- Season with tomato puree, turmeric, lime, cane sugar, salt and peppers. Allow to simmer for a while.
- Pour the hot water into the pan and add the rice. Simmer the jambalaya over a low heat for 15-20 minutes to allow the rice to cook and absorb the flavours from the sauce. If the jambalaya starts to dry out, add more water. The dish should remain quite loose.
- Finally add the prawns simmer for a minute and take the Jambalaya on the table.
