Dive into the vibrant flavors of Louisiana with this hearty jambalaya, featuring spicy andouille sausage, colorful bell peppers, and aromatic spices. Perfect for a cozy weeknight dinner or a festive gathering with friends.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup onion, chopped
  • 1 cup bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 453.6 g andouille sausage, sliced
  • 1 cup long-grain rice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Method

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery to the pot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are softened.

  3. 3

    Stir in the sliced andouille sausage and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing the sausage to brown slightly.

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

  7. 7

    Fluff the jambalaya with a fork and serve hot.
