Willow's Sausage and Chicken Jambalaya
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 large green pepper, diced
1 pound fresh tomatoes, quartered
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 15 oz can tomato sauce
1 6 oz can tomato juice
1/4 cup white wine
1 cup water
2 cups uncooked rice
1/4 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp white pepper
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp salt
5 turkey sausages
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Grill sausages and chicken until tender and cooked through.
Meanwhile, saute garlic in olive oil in large skillet. Add onions,
and peppers and saute until tender. Add tomatoes, spices, rice
and stir to mix. Add tomato sauce, juice, wine and water, cover
and simmer on low until rice is cooked through, and liquid is
absorbed.
.
Cut sausage and chicken in diagonal slices. Mix into rice and serve.
This quick and easy little meal is one of my favorites. I made it Labor
Day afternoon and served it with frosty beer and sliced watermelon.
It can be made as spicy or as mild as you like. I like it extra tomatoey,
so I use canned sauce and juice, as well as fresh tomatoes. It's also
fabulous with some jumbo shrimp thrown in.
Looks pretty good. I just made a killa Pot Roast with Cascabels, Guajillos, Star Anise, Prunes etc... Served it with Cous cous. Very good.

yum yum yum...love jambalaya! this sounds amazing and i will take mine with the shrimp for sure!
ReplyDeleteWe make something similar, but being from NC we often add okra - yum!
ReplyDeleteSounds nextra-yummy! We'll have to make it without the chicken and with veggy sausages - but I'm sure it'll be just as gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteJambalaya is one of my favorites for a crowd -- with chicken, shrimp, and andouille sausage. And okra, as The Bug said. Yum, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI love the title of this post as much as the actual recipe. Great way to get into fall mood.
ReplyDeleteOoh, very yummy. Enough to feed an army here; I'll quarter that for two. Thanks...
ReplyDeleteWhenever I see the word jambalaya now, in my mind I have to say it like Newman on Seinfeld: "jambalayyaaaaa!"
ReplyDeleteSaugsages, garlic, rice...how bad could that be? Do I sound like Ina? :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yum!
ReplyDeleteYummy, Willow! This looks so amazing! I must try this. It looks super delicious. You and Betsy have the best looking food.
ReplyDeleteLaissez Le Bon Temps Roulez! as they say in Lousianna, yummy yummy. I saw Julia and Julie last night, I want to rush to the kitchen and cook my life away....Thanks for sharing your delicious recipes.
ReplyDeleteIn Puerto Rico (where I was born and raised) we have Asopao de Pollo and is a little bit like your Jambalaya Rice with chicken. I'm getting homesick :-)
I made the mistake once of calling it Jam ba laya instead of jom bo laya. Your recipe sounds extra delicious. I'll have to try it soon.
ReplyDeleteWow, Willow, this jambalaya looks divinely delicious! I like the idea of adding the wine and grilling the chicken and turkey sausage. Thanks for this fabulous recipe!
ReplyDeleteJambalaya. The name looks as tasty as the dish. And I love chicken. And I love garlic. And I love me peppers. Of course I will be cooking and tucking into this recipe soon. Many thanks.
ReplyDeleteGreetings from London.
This sounds delicious...it's on my list for the week!
ReplyDeleteI just LOVE your "thinking"...wow!
Have a great day!
Willow, that does sound delish - the only drawback is that I'm not able to eat peppers or onions (ulcer) and our bit of Brittany does not sell turkey sausages - this is pork country - apart from that I could replicate the dish perfectly :p (wish I could)
ReplyDeleteHello Willow,
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy doing a sort of jambalaya with any sort of meat but usually cheat with a packet of seasoned rice! And I like a few chilli flakes so long as it's not too hot.
I've never had Jambalaya (I've led such a sheltered life); but this looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteWonder if I can talk Linda into experimenting with a dish on the weekend?
I think you'd like it, Barry. If Linda decides to give it a try, this recipe is on the spicy side. If you'd like a milder version, tell her to cut down the white pepper and red pepper flakes. Bon appetite! (said in my best Julia Child voice)
ReplyDeleteDonna, we were discussing the pronunciation on Monday. Thanks for the tip! :^)
ReplyDeleteHubbie will ADORE this....will copy it down to put together for him! Your photo looks DELECTABLE!
ReplyDeleteMy mouth should be watering, but it isn't? The photography is great. The colors are all there and vivid too. Oh yes, the name is Jambalaya. To me that is another word for red hot peppers added.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit to my Pick a Peck of Pixels Blog and for your comment there about Japanese trains and the toilets. And your visit helps me get closer to my original goal: 10,000 visits. Pick a Peck of Pixels
Mom would add okra to this, for sure( the only thing I won't eat )-LOL! But I'll have to copy this done for a dee-lish alternate. YUM!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your yamalicious recipe to us. I can’t wait to taste it.
ReplyDeleteHmmm looks so delicious! Oh! That is so kind of you to share to us this wonderful recipe.
ReplyDeleteTROPPO BUONO E DELIZIOSO PER COMMENTARE IN INGLESE!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks tasty ...
ReplyDeleteOh that looks delicious! AND I have all the ingredients! I think that will be supper on Friday night.
ReplyDeletethis does look yummy. Your berry pie was such a hit, I then did your coconut pie, another hit, looks like this is next. Your are making my husband a happy man with all your inspiration.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Maria! It's so much fun to know someone is out there is actually making and enjoying these recipes. Let me know how you like this one.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks delish! It's a cool rainy day in DC today ... hmmm ... maybe I'll make this for dinner tonight.
ReplyDeleteGood gracious. I remember listening to Brenda Lee singing about jambalaya fifty years ago but never knowing what it was. You're never too old to learn.
ReplyDeleteI haven't had a good jambalaya in ages. Yumalicious for sure.
ReplyDeleteIt's funny, I've just been chatting to Julochka about food. All of a sudden, we are both feeling "nesty" and wooden spoonish. I love fall/winter food the best.
Nesty and wooden spoonish, Bee, I love that. Autumn always conjures those feelings for me!
ReplyDeleteI like this one very much and am adding it to my fall go to choices. Your Jambalaya is much better than my Jambalaya!
ReplyDeleteOh..Yum..Yum...We had Jambalaya this weekend..I'll have to try this recipe:-)
ReplyDeleteCan I come over and eat at your house.
ReplyDeleteThis looks bliss.
Oh wow, that look divine! Fall perfection in the form of a warm, homey, satisfying meal.
ReplyDeleteSounds delicious, but what are turkey sausages please?
ReplyDeleteWeaver, they're sausages made with turkey instead of pork. They're actually very tasty and I like to use them because they're lower in fat. But, in this recipe, you can use any sausage that happens to be your favorite.
ReplyDeleteYou might like to know that the BBC are showing a series on Harris tweed, it seems that the weavers are having a very hard time. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00ml5nv
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I rather liked the hand.
Now you're talkin'!
ReplyDeleteGreat recipe for someone who is allergic to shrimp (like me)!
ReplyDeleteIsabel, I'm allergic to shrimp, too! That's why I leave it out. :(
