Jemma's Chirstmas Jambalaya
December 20, 2012
Christmas Jambalaya, a rich and robust broth with generous morsels of sausage and shrimp, served over flavorful rice.
This dish requires chopping-I think preparing food with family about is soothing and welcoming. So, this dish is perfect for the Holidays. Little ones, can run about while Mama and Grammy chop and visit.
Just look at these luscious vegetables, green pepper, celery, poblano pepper, jalapeno, garlic and onion.
Tip: Smoked Paprika is Wonderful!
Ingredients:

Heat olive oil in large saucepan on medium heat, add all chopped vegetables and saute until tender. This will appear to be a lot of vegetable but as they saute they shrink.
While veggies cook cube kielbasi
As veggies cook if they need more liquid add vegetable/chicken broth as needed stir.
Add chopped kielbasi, rest of broth, paprika, bay leaf and tomatoes.
Simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
Add cleaned shrimp last 5-7 minutes of cooking time
Serve over rice.
For added flavor cook your rice in chicken broth with a garlic clove, parsley, salt and pepper.
