Directions:
In large stock pot heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ham and kielbasa and cook, stirring occasionally until lightly browned, about 5-8 minutes.
Add onions, bell pepper, jalapeņo, parsley, thyme and cayenne pepper. Season with salt and pepper. Cook stirring occasionally until soft, about 10 minutes.

Add tomatoes and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until juice from the tomatoes thickens, about 10-15 minutes.

Stir in rice, chicken stock, and clam juice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until rice is almost cooked through, about 20 minutes.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Hillside Farm kielbasa is great for this recipe.
The original recipe calls for 1 lb. oysters and 1 lb. shrimp, but since I am not an oyster fan I use 2 lb. shrimp. If you use oysters then substitute the oyster liquid for the clam juice.
And the original recipe calls for peeling the tomatoes but I am too lazy for that and use unpeeled.
