Classic Jambalaya
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 Polish sausages, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch thick pieces
  • 1 large onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 3 green bell peppers, seeded and diced
  • 2 zucchini, chopped, or to taste
  • 1 (14 ounce) can crushed tomatoes
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup rice
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pound chopped cooked chicken breast
  • 1 pound peeled cooked shrimp
Instructions
1
Combine the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan over medium heat, allowing them to melt together.
2
Saute the sausage and onion in the saucepan until the onion begins to develop a rich brown color, approximately 10 minutes.
3
Introduce the garlic into the saucepan and continue to cook and stir until it releases its distinct aroma, taking about 1 to 2 minutes.
4
Combine the green bell peppers, zucchini, tomatoes, chicken broth, rice, Worcestershire sauce, and bay leaf with the onion-sausage mixture in the saucepan.
5
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil, then decrease the heat and let it simmer until the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened to your liking, roughly 15 minutes.
6
Add the chicken and shrimp to the saucepan with the tomato-sausage mixture, allowing them to heat through completely, taking about 1 to 2 minutes.
