This is what we had for dinner tonight. Quite good! Nice, spicy kick.
Ingredients:
Jambalaya Mix (see recipe below)
2 cups water
1 (14-ounce) can diced tomatoes (I actually used crushed tomatoes)
1 (8-ounce) can tomato sauce
1/2 pound turkey sausage, browned and diced
1/2 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders or breasts, browned and shredded
Jambalaya Mix:
1 cup brown rice
3 tablespoons dried minced onion
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
1 tablespoon chicken bouillon granules
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 bay leaf
In a small bowl, combine rice, onion, parsley, bouillon, thyme, garlic powder, black pepper, cayenne pepper, salt, and bay leaf. (You can make this ahead of time and store in an airtight container.)
Directions:
In a medium size sauce pan combine Jambalaya Mix, water, tomatoes and tomato sauce. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat and let simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove bay leaf. Add meat, stir and serve. Serves 3 to 4. (Shrimp would be a nice addition, as well.)

This sounds good, Jabet. I think I'll make it over this snowy weekend sometime. I'm done with Phase 1 of the SB plan after Friday. I't funny how much I'm looking forward to a little brown rice!
ReplyDeleteI feel great, though, after this two weeks with hardly any carbs. I almost hate to go on to the next phase.
That's great, Norene! Congrats on completing Phase 1. That's really tough! Let me know what you think of the jambalaya. It definitely has a spicy kick to it. It'll keep you warm on a day like today. :)
ReplyDeleteI made this Saturday and it was great! Tim and I like spicy food, and this fit the bill perfectly for an after-sledding dinner.
