Jambalaya Burgers And Cajun Corn And Red Beans Recipes

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large heavy Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the sausage and chicken pieces with Cajun seasoning. Saute sausage until browned. Remove with slotted spoon, and set aside. Add 1 tablespoon peanut oil, and saute chicken pieces until lightly browned on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon, and set aside.
• In the same pot, saute onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic until tender. Stir in crushed tomatoes, and season with red pepper, black pepper, salt, hot pepper sauce, Worcestershire sauce and file powder. Stir in chicken and sausage. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Stir in the rice and chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes, or until liquid is absorbed.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill pan or large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Place the chicken or turkey in a bowl. Add the sausage, half the chopped celery, half the chopped green bell peppers, the onions, half the garlic, the thyme, hot sauce, salt, pepper, and about 2 tablespoons of the EVOO. Combine the mixture and form 4 patties. Grill for 5 minutes on each side.
• Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the EVOO (twice around the pan), the remaining bell peppers, remaining garlic, and the corn kernels, and season with salt and pepper. Cook the corn and bell peppers, stirring frequently, for 3 or 4 minutes, then add the scallions and red beans to the pan and heat through, 2 or 3 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the chili sauce and cook for 1 minute more. Turn off the heat and let stand.
• Combine the remaining chili sauce with the remaining celery, the mayo, and the grainy mustard and reserve.
• Coat the shrimp with a little EVOO and the Old Bay Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Grill alongside the burgers, pressing the shrimp down with a small heavy skillet or a small skillet with a heavy can inside to prevent the shrimp from curling up. Cook for 2 minutes on each side.
• Place the roll bottoms on plates and top with burgers, shrimp, lettuce, and tomato slices. Slather the bun tops with chili-mayo-mustard sauce and set in place. Serve the Cajun corn and beans alongside.

Steps:

• Coat a large skillet or dutch oven with cooking spray.
• Over medium heat, add the sausage, onions, celery, and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, for about four minutes or until the vegetables start to soften.
• Add the undrained tomatoes, red beans, and seasonings to the pan. Cook covered, stirring occasionally for about five minutes.
• Stir in the rice and cook and stir for another minute or two until the rice is heated through.
