- Think of jambalaya recipes as a starting point. If you don't like
- something, change it. So long as you leave the rice and the cayenne,
- just about everything else can be changed and it'll still be jambalaya
- in one form or another.
-
- Sausage Eggplant Jambalaya
-
- 4 tbsp. oil
- 4 eggplants (medium)
- 1 large onion
- 1/2 bell pepper
- salt and pepper
- 1 stalk celery
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 1/2 c. uncooked rice
- 2 1/2 c. water
- 1/2 lb. fresh pork sausage
- 1/2 lb. smoked sausage
-
- In a large dutch oven, saute chopped onion, bell pepper, celery, and
- garlic in oil until wilted. Peel and chop eggplant and add this plus
- the sausage (chopped in small pieces) to the wilted vegetables. When
- eggplant is well-smothered, add salt and pepper to taste. (This should
- be a peppery dish, so don't spare the seasoning.) Add the rice and
- water next. Cover and cook until rice is tender (about 25-30 minutes)
- over low heat.
