Chef John Beshs Zatarains Creole Jambalaya Recipe 455

Steps:

• Place butter and sausage in a large stockpot over medium heat; cook and stir for 5-6 minutes until sausage begins to brown.
• Stir in paprika, cumin and cayenne; cook for 1 minute.
• Stir tomatoes, celery, green pepper, green onions, salt, and bay leaf into sausage mixture.
• Add brown rice and stir to combine. Stir in chicken stock and turn heat to low. Cover and cook for until rice is just tender, about 45 minutes.
• Stir in shrimp, replace lid and cook for 5 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper.

Steps:

• In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered, about 3 minutes. Add the onions and cook, stirring often, until browned. Add the bell pepper, celery, and sausage. Cook, stirring, for another 3 minutes, then add the rice, paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Increase the heat to high and add the chicken broth and tomato sauce, then the pork and green onions. Stir well and bring to a boil. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remember, the pork and sausage are already cooked, you're only making the rice at this point. Remove the post from the heat and it's ready to serve! Season with salt and Tabasco.
