My brother-in-law Gerard likes to serve Jambalaya during extended family dinner because you can prepare it in advance and it is a meal with a lot of taste.

Ingredients:

20 ml olive oil
5 chopped garlic cloves
One green pepper chopped in large chunk
½ red pepper chopped in large chunk
½ yellow pepper chopped in large chunk
2 chopped celery sticks
2 large onions chopped in large chunk
3 sliced Jalapenos
6 deboned chicken legs, cut in cubes
4 sliced Chorizo sausages

5 ml Cayenne pepper
20 ml paprika
20 ml basilica
10 ml oregano
10 ml thyme
One litre Uncle Ben’s rice
60 ml tomato paste
4 chopped tomatoes without the seeds
2.5 l chicken stock

Method:

In a very large pot, sauté the garlic in the oil
After 3 minutes, add the vegetables and sauté another 10 minutes
Add the meat, herbs and spices and sauté 5 more minutes
Incorporate the rice, tomato paste and chicken stock and mix well
Simmer for 25 to 30 minutes

I like to prepare this rice. At home, we eat a lot of rice (cultural thing I guess) but this one, served with BBQ chicken breasts is a nice change.

Ingredients:

250 ml Uncle Ben’s Converted rice
825 ml chicken soup base
175 ml wild rice

Method:

Wash rice under cold water
Place the liquid and rice in a medium pot
Bring to a boil
Cook for about 20 minutes, until the liquid has been absorbed
