I'll tell you how I made it this time. You can use chicken and sausage, but DD17 doesn't eat meat (seafood only) so I made it with shrimp and fish. The recipe comes from the New Orleans School of Cooking.

Seafood Jambalaya

2TBS olive oil
3/4lb peeled shrimp
2-3 small fish fillets

The Holy Trinity:
2C. chopped onions
3/4C. chopped celery
2/3C. chopped green pepper

1TBS Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce

1TBS chopped garlic
1-1/2C. raw white rice
2C hot vegetable stock
1TBS Big Kevin's Seasoning (thyme, oregano,basil, cayenne)

In a Dutch Oven, saute fish and shrimp in oil for about 5 min or until cooked through. Set aside.

Set aside 1/2 the Trinity. Saute the other 1/2 of the Trinity with the garlic until translucent. Add hot broth,the other half of the cold Trinity,Kevin's Seasoning, and Kitchen Bouquet. Bring to a boil.

Add rice and return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat to simmer. Cook for a total of 25 minutes. After 10 minutes of cooking, remove cover, add seafood,and quickly turn the rice from top to bottom completely. Return to low heat for the remaining 15 minutes.

Serves about 5-6.

As I said, you can substitute a couple chicken breast and 1/4lb of smoked sausage(or andouille, for authenicity) for the seafood. 4 Keys:
1cup rice to 1 cup onion, 1/2 cup celery, and 1/2 cup green pepper
1 cup rice to 2 cups liquid
You might need to add more seasoning, depending on how hot you want it

If you can make a good dark roux, you can leave off the Kitchen Bouquet.

You can make this a red jambalaya by using only 1/2 the stock and 1/2 tomato juice for your liquid. Add some tomatoes and green onion.
