Basically you can just say that Jambalaya is kind of like a casserole. It’s a concept, rather than a dish. Here is an easy step by step, but if you want to go with tradition, click on the images to the right:
- Raw meat (chicken, sausage, shrimp, pork, beef, fish, etc)
- Lots of minced garlic (to taste)
- One green bell pepper – diced
- One onion – sliced thin
- One celery – chopped
- One can crushed tomatoes
- 1-2 C chicken stock
- Brown the meat in EVOO
- Cook the above together for about an hour
- Stir occasionally
- Spill some of your beer and Tabasco sauce in there occasionally
- Put some rice and beans in during the last half hour
