Directions: |
Directions:1. Lightly brown meat in large pot and remove to plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
2. Add veggies and garlic to pot and saute. You may need a bit of canola oil in addition to the fat from the meat to keep the veggies from sticking.
3. Pour in rice and add tomato paste. Stir for 30 seconds and then add the water and butter according to package instructions.
4. Add bay leaves, a pinch of salt or Tony's, and meat. Simmer until all of the water has cooked out and the meat is cooked through.
5. Add additional seasonings to your taste
6. The Kitchen Bouquet may be added a drop or two at this point if you prefer your jambalaya to have a darker color. |

Notes: Andouille sausage is ideal for this recipe...but finding it in Oklahoma can be difficult. You can play around with the type of sausage and spice level that you desire. I've found that kielbasa is a pretty satisfying (and definitely more mellow) alternative, however.
You may use regular long grain rice if you like. It does, however, have a tendency to get mushy and needs a lot of attention. It is so much easier to use parboiled rice like Uncle Ben's.
