This is a recipe that I just tried for jambalaya that turned out surprisingly well. The basic method of preparation was learned during my hiatus at a restaraunt called Ragin' Shrimp, but I changed the ingredients.
Ingredients:
1 lb. kielbasa
3/4 lb. (Now this is important) Chuck Wagon(TM) brand bacon.
(Trust me: They call it bacon, but it's completely different.)
2 large bell peppers
2 white onions
16 oz. tomato paste
12 oz. stewed sliced tomatos
4 cups instant rice
4 cups water
(To taste)
Olive oil
Rosemary
Basil
Oregano
Cayenne Pepper
Ground Habanero
White pepper
Bay leaves
And anything else you happen to feel like throwing in. What can I say? I'm flexible. (Not like that, you sicko!)
Dice the peppers and the onions, and cross-slice the "bacon" into pieces. Sprinkle the peppers and onions with olive oil, and saute over medium-low heat with the diced bacon. When the onions are transcluscent, add the tomato paste, stewed tomatoes, water, and spices. Bring to a boil. Add the rice and kielbasa. Return to a boil. Boil for a couple of minutes, then remove from heat and cover. Let the pot sit until the rice is cooked.
Consume.
Enjoy.
Refrain from swimming for at least 1 hour after eating.
Never drink and drive.
You can always trust your government, and the policeman is your friend.
