Ingredients:
- 1 onion
- 1/2 green bell pepper
- 2-3 garlic cloves
- 1 cup white rice
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 2 1/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon hot red pepper sauce (or to taste)
- 1 tomato
- 1 cup cooked ham
- 1/2 cup Polish sausage
- Optional: Additional shrimp, for garnish
Instructions:
-
Saute Aromatics: In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the diced onion, green bell pepper, and minced garlic in butter until the onion is tender and translucent.
-
Add Rice and Flavorings: Stir in the white rice, ketchup, water, white vinegar, black pepper, and hot red pepper sauce (adjust according to your spice preference). Add in the diced tomato, cooked ham, and sliced Polish sausage, ensuring everything is evenly distributed. Stir well to combine all the flavors.
-
Simmer: Cover the skillet with a lid and simmer the mixture for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
-
Add Shrimp: Once the rice is almost tender, add in the optional shrimp, if desired, for an extra burst of flavor and protein. Simmer the jambalaya uncovered for an additional 5 minutes, or until the shrimp turns pink and opaque, stirring occasionally to incorporate all the ingredients.
-
Serve: Once the shrimp is cooked and the flavors have melded together beautifully, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the piping hot jambalaya in bowls, garnished with fresh herbs if desired, and enjoy the spicy, flavorful taste of New Orleans right at home!
