Here’s a little recipe for jambalaya, one of the classic Cajun dishes you can make using ENAK Seasonings Cajun Heat.
For a cleaner, lower calorie version replace the sausage with shrimp and cook the trinity in a little olive oil.
Ingredients
3 stalks celery
1 bell pepper
1 onion
4 cloves garlic
4-6 chicken thighs
1-2 lbs andouille sausage
4 C rice
4 C chicken broth
1 can crushed tomatoes
Cajun Heat seasoning
Sugar
Steps
- Cook the chicken thighs in a pan, in the oven, or by boiling
- While thighs are cooking, chop the celery, onion, and bell pepper. Set aside in a bowl. In Cajun cooking this combination is called the trinity.
- Chop the cloves of garlic.
- Slice the sausage and brown in the large pot you will use to cook the jambalaya.
- Remove the sausage, leaving the fat in the pot. Add the trinity and cook on medium low heat until softened - about five minutes.
- Slice/chop/shred the chicken and add to the trinity. Add the crushed tomatoes, garlic, and the sausage. Stir together.
- Add 2 tbsp sugar.
- Add Cajun Heat seasoning to taste. I recommend at least 2 tbsp and up to ¼ C.
- Mix together, then add the rice and stir for a minute.
- Add the chicken broth, stir, and bring to a gentle boil.
- Reduce heat to low and cook for about 30 minutes, or until rice is fully cooked.
- Plate and enjoy!
