Meatastic Jambalaya Recipe

	Sdneill / All my dishes 1 year, 4 months ago This is my adaptation of my stepmother's Louisiana family's jambalaya recipe. The meats are all interchangeable. It is meant to be a kitchen sink, cleaning out the freezer sort of dish, so use whatever you have or buy whatever you like. Unlike man... More Prep:30m Cook:45m Servings:10	Sdneill

Ingredients

1 onion

1 bell pepper (orange, red, or yellow make it look better)

3 stalks celery

1 garlic bulb

2 tbsp butter

1 lb ham, diced

2 lbs andouille (or other smoked) sausage; sliced or "chunked"

2 bonless, skinless chicken breasts (raw, diced)

1 lb shrimp (medium, uncooked, shelled, deveined)

4 cups beef broth

1 cup wine (white, dry)

2 cups rice (white, uncooked)

1/4 cup cajun/creole seasoning (I use Emeril's Essence)

1 tsp cayenne pepper (vary this to turn the heat up or down)

1 tsp thyme

Pinch ground clove

Directions

Mince garlic and dice or puree the onion, bell pepper, and celery

Place butter in a large stock pot over medium heat; add garlic, onion, bell pepper and celery after butter has melted; stir frequently

After 5-10 minutes, add the ham and sausage; stir well and often

After another 5-10 minutes, add the broth, wine, and spices

Bring to boil and add the rice

After 10 minutes of boiling, add the chicken

After another 10 minutes, add the shrimp

Dish will be done when the rice is tender and the shrimp is firm and pinkish

Add salt to taste, but wait until the last step. There is usually already a fair amount of salt in this due to the ham, sausage, cajun seasoning and the broth.
