Louisiana Jambalaya<br />

1/2 lb. smoked sausage<br />

1 large onion (or 2 medium)<br />

2 ribs celery<br />

1 small bell pepper<br />

1 lb. chicken breasts AND/OR pork, cut up<br />

1/4 cup vegetable oil<br />

1/4 cup flour<br />

Slice sausage into 1/4 inch rounds and brown in a large pot. Remove sausage <strong>from</strong> pot and set<br />

aside. Place chicken or pork in same pot. Stir until outside of meat has been seared well. Dice<br />

onion, celery and bell pepper. Add diced vegetables and sauté until onions are translucent.<br />

(About 10 minutes.) While vegetables cook, make your roux in a microwave. That’s right–we<br />

are making it in the microwave–little mess, little smell and just as good. In a Pyrex measuring<br />

cup, mix flour and oil (may be lumpy). Cook on high for 3 minutes. Remove and stir–it should<br />

be beige at <strong>this</strong> point. Keep cooking and stirring at 30 second intervals, then<br />

at 15 second intervals until it is dark brown. Add roux to pot with meat and<br />

vegetables, stirring well until mixed. Stir in tomatoes and bay leaves. Then<br />

add water or broth and bring to a boil. Add seasonings and cook on high heat<br />

for 15 minutes. Add sausage and rice and bring to a boil again while stirring.<br />

Cover with a tight fitting lid and cook on low heat for 25 minutes. DO NOT<br />

LIFT THE LID or the rice may be undercooked. When done, stir once with a<br />

large spoon and it’s ready. Serves 8.<br />
