Jambalaya Recipe

   I had a request for my Jambalaya recipe.  Please note, I am an Okie and do it the way we like it here.  If my way of doing it is an insult to any Cajuns, forgive me.  :-)
 




Mel's Jambalaya

      2 T. butter                                             smoked sausage
      3 T. paprika                                          1 T. cumin
      1/2 tsp. dehydrated onion                     1/2 tsp. pepper
      1/2 tsp. garlic powder                           2 T. seasoning salt                         1 tsp. oregano                                      1 tsp. thyme                                   1/2 c. diced tomatoes                           5 c. chicken broth                        1/4 c. oil                                               2 c. rice

     Melt butter in a medium sized sauce pan over medium heat.  Add oil and let it get hot.  For the smoked sausage, either use a one pound package and slice up or use the smoked sausage links (we used 8 of them).  Cook the sausage in the oil/butter for 5 minutes.  Add in the spices and cook for one minute.  Stir in tomatoes then the chicken broth and finally the rice.  Stir well and bring to a boil.  Stir more and bring back to a boil.  Turn to simmer and simmer covered for 5 minutes.
