QUICK AND EASY JAMBALAYA

This recipe is a quick and easy way to enjoy jambalaya without spending too much time in the kitchen. It has just enough spice to give it a kick without making it too spicy. I use turkey kielbasa to make this recipe a little more healthy. I also suggest making your own home-mixed Cajun seasoning to avoid too many unnecessary additives.

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Boil sausage until hot, 8 to 12 minutes; drain.
  • Heat canola oil in a pot over medium-high heat; saute sausage, celery, bell pepper, and onion in hot oil until vegetables start to soften, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir chicken and Cajun seasoning into the vegetable mixture. Pour broth and tomatoes into the pot; bring to a boil, add the rice, and stir. Return mixture to a boil, reduce heat to medium-low, cover pot, and simmer mixture until for 5 minutes. Remove cover, stir, and continue to simmer until the rice has absorbed the liquid and is tender, about 5 minutes more.

QUICK JAMBALAYA

This recipe makes quick work out of jambalaya by using leftover rice, and it tastes great with freshly cooked grains, too. To make this meal meatless, use vegan andouille sausage or stick with pork sausage, if you prefer. Either option, along with creole seasoning and the classic trinity of creole cooking - onion, celery and green bell pepper - result in a dish that is unmistakably Louisianan. Though many jambalaya recipes skip tomatoes, this version uses a blend of tomato paste and diced tomatoes to add bulk, and an acidity that helps lighten up the otherwise hearty one-pot meal.

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add the sausage and cook until starting to brown, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the remaining tablespoon oil, then add the celery and bell pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until very fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked rice. Sprinkle with the creole seasoning and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Stir in the tomatoes and hot sauce and cook until warmed through. Season with additional salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with the scallions and serve with more hot sauce.

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 links pork or vegan andouille or chorizo sausage (6 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 celery stalks, thinly sliced
1 green bell pepper, diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon tomato paste
2 cups cooked long-grain white rice
1 tablespoon creole seasoning
Salt and black pepper
1 (15-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon hot sauce, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons sliced scallions

QUICK SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA

Like most creole dishes, this jambalaya contains the "holy trinity"-onion, celery and bell pepper. The andouille sausage and creole seasoning add a distinct Louisiana flavor. The rice for jambalaya is traditionally cooked in with the other ingredients, but in this quick version I use pre-cooked rice, making this dish perfect if you've got leftover rice to use up.
