Equipment

  • Dutch Oven
  • Measuring Spoons and Cups
  • Cutting Board and Knife
  • Spatula or Wooden Spoon

Ingredients

  • 1 lb andouille sausage sliced
  • 1 large onion diced
  • 1 bell pepper diced
  • 2 celery stalks diced
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup long-grain white rice
  • 14 oz diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper adjust to taste
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Green onions and parsley for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add sliced andouille sausage and brown it until it develops a nice color. Remove the sausage from the pot and set it aside.
  • In the same pot, add diced onions, bell peppers, and celery. Sauté until the vegetables are softened, then add minced garlic. Cook for an additional minute until the garlic becomes fragrant.
  • Stir in the long-grain white rice, ensuring it's well-coated with the vegetable mixture.
  • Add the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  • Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes or until the rice is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
  • Once the rice is cooked, add the browned andouille sausage back to the pot. Stir to combine and let it heat through.
  • Adjust the seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped green onions and parsley before serving.
  • Serve the Sausage Jambalaya hot, and enjoy the hearty and flavorful dish!

Notes

  1. Quality Ingredients: Opt for high-quality andouille sausage and fresh vegetables for enhanced flavor.
  2. Sauté for Flavor: Properly sauté onions, bell peppers, and celery to build a flavorful base.
  3. Patient Simmering: Allow the jambalaya to simmer over low heat for well-absorbed flavors and perfect texture.
