Quadtriple Meaty Jambalaya
I made a thing tonight.
And heres the stuff I used to make it :
1/2: medium yellow onion
Cut to thin slices.
3: garlic cloves
Minced.
1: yellow bell pepper
Cut to small dice.
2~3ish: celery sticks
Cut to small dice.
1 larger red chili and 2 mini red chilis
Cut into small strips. Fine julienne.
1: large can crushed tomatoes
1: regular can of diced tomatoes
1/3 Cup: black, pinto, and black eyed peas
1-2Tbsp: frozen corn
1-2Tbsp: frozen peas
2 Cups: Rice
2 1/2 cup: water with 1 1/2tbsp of Better Than Bouillon Chicken Stock mixed in
1/2lb: 20/80 Ground Beef
1~lb: Raw Chicken Breast
Cut to small dice.
2: Links of Cajun Spiced Andouille Sausage These
Cut in basic slices.
JUST FOUR! 21/25 per lbs Fresh Shrimp
Optional deshell and devein them. I left the shells on to keep the flavor in better.
No specific amounts for seasoning. I just kinda seasoned to taste. Heavily, medium, and lite is what I will use to guess how I generally put in the seasonings.
To taste: Kosher Salt
To taste: Black Ground Pepper
Heavily: Cajun seasoning
Medium: Celery salt
Lite: Tarragon leaves
Lite: Basil
Medium: Oregano
Lite: Ground Ginger
Medium: Ground Coriander
Lite: Caraway Seeds
Lite: Thyme
Directions:
A1. Before you start cooking anything, you want to soak your beans for an hour in water or over night to make their cooking easier. Beans must then be cooked in salted water that is first boiling when you put them in, and then set on simmer for up to 2 to 4 hours.
1. Put all of your meat except for the shrimp into a pan on medium high heat with no oil in it. Once the meat is fully browned, drain the residual liquid from the pan.
2. Return meat to the pan and add in the onions, garlic, peppers, bell pepper, and celery. Mix and saute together until the vegetables look soft.
3. Add in the canned tomatoes, rice, water, and your seasonings. Remember to frequently taste your food before you accidentally over season it, or worse, over-salt it. Mix them all in and simmer on low for about 10 minutes.
4. Add in your shrimp, beans, corn, and peas and mix together. Re-season the shrimp specifically if you want. Simmer for another 10 to 15mins until the rice begins to look done. If it looks too dry, add half a cup of water.
Enjoy~

It's okay, not your fault. I grew up this way, but it's not like happening every 5 or 10 minutes, although when I am under lots of stress, it can happen in an instant. I can't have anyone around me while I prepare food because they would tell me what to do, like my dad for example. Sometimes he stresses me out when I even dare to use the stove or the oven, so I let him do all the cooking for me. And yeah, he does easy recipes, and this is why I don't think I am all that healthy. He does not want to make Jambalaya, and also he does not like buying fish all that much. I like fish. But I am going on about other stuff. A friend of ours makes jambalaya at times and I am very happy when we get invited to a jambalaya supper since it's really yummy.
Another tasty variation on the Jambalaya! This wuff hasn't tried it with the beans aboard before. Would certainly make it heartier!
So many different versions of this tasty dish, and wuff's sure that all of them are yummy and satisfying! This is no exception. This wuff's opinion, there is no one "right way" to make this. Everyone has their favorite ingredients and additions.
If you're curious, this wuffy made a version of Jambalaya too! You can find it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/14195396/
Thanks for the posting! Vrghr's always looking for ideas and variations on the themes!

Your Jambalaya looks very good as well! I thought it usually goes with kidney beans or something but I highly prefer that mix of beans I have up there lol. Whenever I cook with tomatoes I have a habit of putting beans in it as well.
I like the look of yours too, yours is more thin, more room for tomatoes!

*nods* It is, until you add the rice. Then it thickens up pretty good. That photo was before the rice soaked up even more of the juice.
This wuff is going to have to try that with the beans. Vrghr LOVES beans! One of wuff''s most favorite dishes is soup beans with ham hocks and corn bread (got that one on the recipe list too!). Ahh, so good! WONDERFUL comfort food for a cold, wet, blustery day!
