Easy Sausage Jambalaya

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1- 1 lb. package smoke sausage ¼ diced and ¾ sliced into rounds
  • 3 medium carrots peeled and diced
  • 4 celery stalks diced
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large bay leaves
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ½ teaspoon parsley
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon kofte mix - we bought ours from Turkey but you can make it at home with this recipe
  • 1 ½ cups white long-grain rice, rinsed and dried
  • 3 cups chicken broth

Instructions

  1. Heat oil in large sauté pan over medium heat.
  2. Add the sausage rounds (keep the diced sausage for later) and cook until browned and carmelized. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon to leave the drippings behind.
  3. Add the carrots, celery, and diced sausage and cook until slightly browned and softened, about 4 minutes.
  4. Add the garlic, salt, and dried spices to the pan and cook for 1 minute.
  5. Add the rice to the pan and cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  6. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once boiling, cover and lower heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes until the rice is done.
  7. Remove the lid and stir in the sausage and serve.
