Jambalaya

Here's our take on a classic Jambalaya - the Cajun rice staple packed with smoked sausage, chicken, veggies, prawns, and rice in a rich, spicy tomato broth.

The essential Cajun flavour comes from our Cravin' Cajun Rub and by adding our Pimped Pepper this adds to the complexity of the dish! Enjoy!

Ingredients

3 chorizo sausages, sliced
3 Tbsp olive oil
1 Chicken breast, sliced into thin strips
1 brown onion
1 yellow capsicum (bell pepper) diced
1 red capsicum (bell pepper) diced
2 stalks celery, diced
4 cloves garlic, finely diced
8 springs thyme, finely sliced
2 Tbsp Spicecraft's Cravin' Cajun Rub - add more if you like it hot!
1 tin of diced tomatoes
3 cups chicken stock
1 ½ cups uncooked long grain rice
24 prawns, defrosted
2 spring onions, finely sliced
Spicecraft's Pimped Pepper - to taste

Instructions

Place a large pan with a lid over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil, and once hot, add the sliced sausage. Sauté for 3-4 minutes.
Add the sliced chicken breast, stirring often, for another 4-5 minutes. Then, add the diced onion and cook for 2 more minutes.
Now add the capsicums, celery, and garlic. Season with some Pimped Pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the chopped thyme, tomatoes, Cravin' Cajun Rub (the more you add the hotter it will be, so for a family friendly dish - just add 2 Tbsps, add more if you love HEAT!). Stir well.
Pour in the chicken stock and bring everything to a light simmer, stirring well. Once simmering, add the rice evenly across the surface of the pan and gently stir in to ensure it’s distributed evenly. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to low.
Cook for 20 minutes. Then, lift the lid and add the prawns to the top. Continue cooking on low for another 7 minutes until the prawns are fully cooked.
Check if the rice is fully cooked, if not put the lid back on for a further 5 minutes. Once done, carefully stir the prawns through the rice.
Sprinkle over the sliced spring onions, a sprinkle of Pimped Pepper, and if you like - more Cravin' Cajun, serve, and enjoy!
