Another Taste of New Orleans

I'm always searching for something new and exotic to eat... A friend of mine recently went to a restaraunt that serves New Orleans cuisine and raved about the jambalaya. I know that as good as it probably was..You actually have to visit New Orleans to taste the genuine article...I don't know when I'll actually get to New Orleans...but until I do...Here is a great Jambalaya recipe. It's easy to make and called "Sue's Honey Island Jambalaya-

Ingredients & Directions:

2 lbs Italian/green onion sausage (crumbled)--
Saute in large pan.

3 packs frozen chopped seasoning (bellpepper, onion, celery)--
Brown the above together and skim off any excess grease.

Season to taste with garlic powder, "Tony Chacherie" or other full-bodied seasoning, and Worcestershire sauce.

Add 1-2 cans Ro-Tel Tomatoes.

Add chicken broth or stock to cover (about 3" above seasoning/meat mixture).

Cover and simmer a few minutes.

Add 1-3 cups of any meat or shell fish as desired....shrimp, crawfish, turkey, chicken, etc.

Cover and simmer some more!
Add 2-4 cups of rice (Uncle Ben's works great!), depending on how large your pot is.
Cover and cook on "hi" for 15 minutes or so; then turn down and cool, stirring occasionally until tender!

Serve with Sweet Ice Tea, served in a jar!and a twist of lemon.

Enjoy!
