                                                             HAPPY EASTER!!!!! 🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣

Today i decide to go with a new dish, it is first time to try it. This is recipe from New Orleans it is one of their traditional dishes.ladies and gentlemen let me introduce to the CAJUN NEW ORLEANS JAMBALAYA. I  found this recipe on pinterest and was hooked once i read through the recipe so i decided to  prepare it for dinner. They are so many different ways you can make you just have to put your own touch to make it the way you desire.

INGREDIENTS;

Chicken sausages or andouille sausages
2 tbsps of olive oil
1 tsps of garlic powder
1 red onion
2 stalks of celery
3 bell peppers red, green and yellow
Mushrooms and okra if you desire
2 tsps of cajun powder
2 tsps of dry oregano
2 tsps of dry tyrme
2 tsps of paprika
1 cup of thai organic rice
1/3 cup of worchester sauce
1 piece of breast chicken cut in small chunks, you can also use shrimp if you desire.
1 cup of tomato paste
2 cups of chicken, vegetable broth or water

PREPARATIONS;

Start by adding tablespoons of olive oil to a large cast iron pan
Add the cut vegetables and saute on a medium heat until the veggies start to become tender for 4minutes.
Marinate the chicken  with some salt and pepper and then add together with veggies and the sausages and saute everything together till the chicken stops appearing pink
Then add chicken broth or vegetable broth, tomato paste, rice and seasonings. Stir everything together until well combined. cover the pan with a lid  and let it cook on a medium heat.
You can also use a slow cooker if you do not what to use pans. let it cook till the rice is tender stirring every five minutes to all the ingredients to simmer very well this also prevents the rice from sticking at the bottom.
If you are using the shrimp, once the rice is done fold in the shrimp, cover the pan and let the shrimp to cook till it's no longer pink. once shrimp is ready, you can serve your lovely meal with spring onions garnishing.

I fell in love with this dish because it has the components of a balanced plate, you get to have all the portions for example, proteins, vegetables, fats, and carbs.....

Hope you get to try it out, i really enjoyed making and eating it too....😘😘😘😘😘😘
