My family loves a lot of flavor and spice in our food and jambalaya delivers. This is my version of a New Orleans jambalaya that's got a nice kick to it but not overly hot for those whose tongues can't handle it.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • 2 tablespoons margarine or butter

  • ¼ cup chopped onion

  • ⅓ cup chopped celery

  • ¼ cup chopped green pepper

  • 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes

  • 1 ½ cups chicken broth

  • ⅔ cup long grain white rice

Directions

  1. Melt margarine in a large saucepan over medium heat. Stir in onion, celery, and green pepper; cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Pour in diced tomatoes, chicken broth, and rice; season with basil, garlic, pepper, hot sauce, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then turn heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is done, about 20 minutes.
