Quick Jambalaya is just that! And sooooo good! THIS, dear readers, is what I was hoping would happen with this experiment: that I would find some really good, easy recipes that I would want to add to the regular rotation of dinners. Do I like "Quick Jambalaya" better than my own recipe? Not a chance. But would I make this again? Absolutely. The recipe had TWO steps-that's it!
1. Brown the sausage.
2. Add all other ingredients, bring to a boil, simmer 10 minutes.
The only dishes I dirtied were a knife, cutting board, skillet and wooden spoon. And while I am morally opposed to instant rice as it's probably one of the most processed, fake, confusing food items I've ever purchased, I have this to say: Guys, it's a bloody freaking miracle!
Look out, everybody, there was an EIGHTH of a tsp of Cayenne in it! Settle the hell down, Betty! Since I'm suddenly over my sore throat only to be plagued by a chest cold and sinus issues, I was having none of this. I used extra spicy sausage and "accidentally" poured the cayenne into the teaspoon right over the skillet, spilling alot of it around the tsp. Scott was happy, " Wow! A Betty recipe with some kick!" and my sinuses actually cleared for about 5 minutes. Good times, and good leftovers!
Tonight, it's BBQ ribs and veggie-barley saute. As long as the Tylenol Cold/Buckley's cocktail holds out.
Mmmmmm, BBQ ribs. I like the sound of that.
ReplyDeleteI need that recipe. Two steps is about all I can handle right now :) By the way....I also happen to have some zucchini in my possession. How hard is it supposed to be? I was barely able to cut it. Maybe can you just make some bread for me? I think that would be better.
ReplyDeleteYeah, awesome recipe. Brown the sausage, then add chicken stock, instant rice, frozen shrimp, a can of tomatoes, green pepper, onion, chili powder, cayenne and pepper. Bring to a boil, simmer ten minutes. Bliss. As for the zucchini, just shred it up and freeze it, then you can make bread whenever!
