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.
