If you are looking for a dish that is quick, wholesome, and easy to make,resembling the flavors of a traditional jambalaya, thenthis Quick Jambalaya recipe is for you.
For people who are looking for that classic jambalaya recipe, this recipe is not for you.
Need an easy peasy dinner with fresh ingredients? Packed with veggies? Also, a little bit of filling Andouille Sausage? // YESSSS.
Oh, and no big deal or anything, but it’s made in under 30 minutes.
That is what I call a weeknight dinner successsssss! Especially now that school is back in order. More weeknight rushed dinners in order?Most definitely.
Or make it ahead of time and eat throughout the week.
Have I ever mentioned how horrible I am at making rice? Like, horrible.
It is one extreme to the other for me. Either it’s sticky and gummy orrrrrr I forget about it and half the rice is burned at the bottom of the pan. // Happens way more than I’d like to admit.
That is until Success® Boil-in-Bag Rice hit the shelves. I was so ready to tryit. No more trying to clean those pots with rice burned at the bottom? YES, please. // A pan met its demise a while back; it was a lost cause.
Success® Boil-in-Bag rice is the original no measure boil-in-bag rice. It is also gluten-free and non GMO. Within 10 minutes it is perfectly cooked rice every single time. It can be made either on the stovetop or in the microwave. Also, once cooked, it can sit in water for around 30 minutes without losing any quality.
For those fellow rice inept individuals out there (I know you exist), this rice is our solution to a delicious dinner. It’s foolproof.
This Quick Jambalaya recipe works perfect withSuccess® White Rice.They have other varieties and their Whole Grain Brown Rice Boil-in-Bag works great as a substitute, if desired. These come in two different sizes(14 oz or 32 oz.)to accommodate larger families.
A traditional jambalaya generally uses a can of tomatoes and 30-45 minutes of simmering.
Our quick jambalaya is a little different. I used fresh tomatoes from the garden. // Seriously, tomatoes are coming out of my ears at this point.
For this dish, tomatoes are added on top as a garnish, totally eliminating the 30 minute simmer from our to-do list. The less work the better, am I right?
Now, R’s favorite part of this dish is the kick!
This quick jambalaya dish is made with a Cajun kick, but a mild kick that even I can handle. // You know me, the girl with pathetic heat tolerance. #WorkingOnIt
You can adjust the hot sauce based on your heat tolerance. If you want it spicy, add that hot sauce with carelessness.
Do it, I dare you.
