Jambalya!

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Jambalaya is an ideal recipe for cooking game up. Not over spiced so you can actually taste what was there, but not insipid and boring, warms you with taste and temperature.

 

This recipe uses 2 chicken breasts, but I have used Rabbit instead (1 rabbit is 2 chicken breasts), the Jambalaya was designed to use whatever was caught or shot, anything from prawns to alligator (but if using alligator, make it snappy)!

 

Jambalaya

Ingredients

• 
  1 tbsp olive oil
  
• 
  2 chopped chicken breasts (or 1 rabbit)
  
• 
  1 onion diced
  
• 
  1 red pepper thinly sliced
  
• 
  2 garlic cloves crushed
  
• 
  75g Chorizo sliced
  
• 
  1 tbsp Cajun seasoning
  
• 
  250g long grain rice
  
• 
  400g can plum tomatoes
  
• 
  350ml chicken stock
  

Method

1. 
   Heat the oil in a large frying pan with a lid and brown the chicken for 5-8 mins until golden. Remove and set aside. Tip in the onion and cook for 3-4 mins until soft. Then add the pepper, garlic, chorizo and Cajun seasoning, and cook for 5 mins more.
   
2. 
   Stir the chicken back in with the rice, add the tomatoes and stock. Cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender.
   

 

Now those of you with a decent amount of spices will want a recipe for Cajun Seasoning, not just for Jambalaya, rub it onto meat you are going to fry for added deliciousness!
