Like Jambalaya? You're Gonna Love it in Clay!

Suitable for all VitaClay Models! 

Jambalaya is a quintessential New Orleans dish. The word jambalaya generally means "mish-mash," and that's exactly what kind of dish this is. People from New Orleans love it, and have perfected it over the years. 

It's a great stew, and can really incorporate whatever you have in the fridge, making a sort of "left-over stew," but the traditional recipe always includes some seafood like shrimp, a sausage (usually something spicy like Andouille) and rice, along with lots of veggies. 

VitaClay makes Jambalaya so easy: you'll think it was made for this dish! And if you skip the initial sautéing in a pan, I find it's just as good, and it becomes a one-pot meal, making clean up a breeze! 

Ingredients:

• 4 T coconut oil or butter
• 1/2 c chopped Andouille Sausage
• 1 c chopped onions
• 2 t salt
• 1 c chopped green peppers
• 1 c chopped celery
• 1 t chopped thyme
• ½ c chopped tomatoes
• 1 c cooked rice
• ½ c green onions
• 3 T Cajun Seasoning
• ½ c shrimp
• 1 c cut up chicken
• 6 c chicken broth*

Directions:

1. Add chicken and shrimp to a bowl and season with Cajun spices.
2. In a sauce pan, on medium high heat, add oil, onions and salt. Saute for 5 minutes.
3. Add your green peppers, celery, and thyme. Cook for 5 mins, add tomatoes.
4. In your Vitaclay pot add chicken, shrimp, sausage, broth and green onions.
5. Mix rice with your sautéed vegetables and add to the VitaClay pot, stirring.
6. Set on “soup” or “slow” for 30 mins. Stir every 10 minutes.

Serve and enjoy!
