Hello,
I like to eat rice. I prefer to make brown rice at home, but I do eat regular white rice when I am at work. The other day I wanted to make a meal our of rice. Sort of a one pot wonder. So I made what could be considered Jambalaya. It was soooo good!! I know I am always patting myself on the back, but this was good. I took the picture to early but didn't want to forget. Once I let the dish rest it looked even nicer and taste even better.
Okay time to recall just how I made this dish. Basically you can add whatever meat or non meat items you would like but this particular dish I used the following ingredients:
INGREDIENTS:
DICED YELLOW ONION
DICED CELERY
DICED GREEN PEPPER
DICED HAM
PEELED AND DE-VEINED SHRIMP
JUMBO LUMP CRAB
CANNED TOMATOES
CHICKEN BROTH
LONG GRAIN RICE
THYME AND PARSLEY
GARLIC
SALT AND PEPPER AND CAYENNE PEPPER
First dice your vegetables and ham and brown it in a large pan. Once the vegetables are done add dry thyme, canned tomatoes, and garlic. Saute this for a couple of minutes. You should have enough tomatoes that its saucy. Add your rice and enough broth. To cook rice you use 2 times the amount of broth than the rice. So if you are adding 2 cups of rice add 4 cups of broth. If you don't have broth water would be fine. Once the mixture comes to a boil turn down the flame on your pot and cover it with a lid. Set your timer for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes add cayenne to your liking and shrimp and crab. Recover the pot and continue to cook for 15 minutes more. Regular rice only takes about 20minutes to cook. Now that your time is up you should have a saucy pot of food. Remove the lid add the parsley and let the dish rest for about 10 minutes before serving. The remaining liquid will absorb some and your meal will be delicious. Before serving don't forget to taste for quality control. Add salt and pepper and adjust the cayenne if its not spicy enough for you and your guest.
Enjoy,
Mo
