Not So Sinful Jambalaya Recipes

Steps:

• In a large pot over medium-high heat add chickens and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the chickens are cooked through. Remove the bones, setting aside the chicken meat and broth.
• In a large saucepan, fry the ground spicy sausage until cooked through. Set aside.
• In a large pot over medium heat, fry the bacon until crisp. Add the onions, celery, green and red peppers, and garlic cloves. Cook until the vegetables sweat. Add all seasonings and the hot sauce, to taste. Stir together. Add the chicken broth as needed and bring to a boil. Add the tomatoes, corn, and mushrooms. Add additional spices, to taste. Add the reserved chicken meat, reserved ground sausage, butter, smoked sausage, and ham. Add additional chicken broth as needed and return to a boil. Add the shrimp and continue to cook. When the shrimp are cooked through, determine that there is enough liquid to cook the rice. Add additional chicken broth, if needed. Add the rice and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low. The jambalaya is finished when the rice is fully cooked. Serve in large bowls.

Steps:

• In a soup pot, heat 1 tbsp oil. Add sausage and chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes. Transfer the mix to a large bowl.
• In the same pot, heat remaining oil and add celery, onion, and bell pepper. Cook about 5 minutes.
• Add bay leaves, garlic, thyme, salt and cayenne pepper, cook 2 minutes longer.
• Return sausage mix to the pot, add uncooked rice, broth, and tomatoes.
• Bring mix to a boil and reduce heat to low. Allow to simmer, covered, 20 minutes. Cook until rice is tender about 10 minutes longer and remove bay leaves.
• Sprinkle with scallions and serve.

Steps:

• Add oil to a large nonstick saucepan.
• Sauté onion, garlic, bell pepper and celery until onion is translucent.
• Add parsley, ham, sausage (or chicken), bay leaf, and cayenne pepper.
• Cook, stirring often, 5 to 6 minutes.
• Add tomatoes (with juice), tomato sauce, and 1 3/4 cups cold water.
• Gently simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
• Pour rice into the pan and stir well.
• Bring mixture to a boil.
• Lower heat and simmer, covered, 45 minutes or until rice is cooked and absorbs most of the liquid.
• Stir in shrimp and cook 5 minutes more.
• Remove bay leaf.
• Season to taste with cayenne pepper and salt.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/ gas 6. Heat the oil in a heavy-based flameproof casserole dish on a medium-high heat. Season the chicken thighs, add to the dish and cook for 4 mins until they start to brown, stirring occasionally so they don't stick. Add the chorizo and cook for a further 4 mins until it releases its oils and has started to crisp. Remove the meat with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate.
• Add the onions to the chorizo oils, lower the heat and soften for 8 mins. Stir through the garlic, peppers, celery, thyme and oregano, and cook for 2 mins more.
• Return the meat to the dish, add the garlic salt, paprika, cayenne, mustard powder and white pepper, and cook for 2 mins until fragrant. Stir in the rice, then the tomatoes. Add the stock and give it all a really good stir. Bring to the boil, then cover with a well-fitting lid and put in the oven for 20 mins.
• Take from the oven and fluff up the rice with a big fork. Fold through the prawns, then put the mussels and clams on top. Put the lid on, return to the oven for 10 mins, then take the dish out and give everything a good stir. Sprinkle with the parsley and spring onions to serve.
