"From Food & Wine magazine. This makes a pretty and tasty meal for four. If you like your jambalaya really spicy, you could add hot sauce when serving. Enjoy!"

directions

  • In a medium to large enameled cast-iron pot (or any thick, good quality cookware), heat the olive oil.
  • Add the andouille and cook over med-high to high heat, stirring occasionally, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl.
  • Add the onion, bell pepper, celery and garlic to the same pot.
  • Cover and cook over med-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the veggies are soft, about 3 minutes.
  • Add the Old Bay, rice, andouille and cook, stirring occasionally, until the rice is opaque, about 2 minutes.
  • Add the chicken stock, water and thyme, season lightly with salt and pepper and bring to a boil - then turn heat to very low.
  • Cover and cook over very low heat until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed, about 15 minutes.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the crab and scallions.
  • Cover and let stand for 2-3 minutes, just until the crab is hot.
  • Discard the thyme sprig.
  • Serve the jambalaya in bowls, passing the hot sauce at the table.

  1. This was a good, interesting change from a tomato-based jambalaya. It was very savory and filling. ZWT9
     
  2. We made this tasty jambalaya last night for dinner and really enjoyed it. Since I don't eat meat, I used Recipe #500135 for the andouille. This andouille recipe is pretty spicy, so along with the other jambalaya ingredients, I used very little hot sauce upon serving. Both DH and I agreed that this is a keeper that we would have again. Thanks!
     
  3. Scrumptious! My grocer doesn't carry Andouille sausage so I substituted 1/2 hot links and 1/2 hot Italian sausage. Thanks, LifeIsGood! Made for Aussie New Zealand Recipe Swap.

Hello! I have a wonderful husband and two fantastic kids. I love to read, have fun with family and friends, stay active with: running; soccer; golf; biking; hiking; and gardening. I love to travel. I'm looking forward to more international travel someday. Cooking has become a passion for me. I love to read cookbooks, watch the Food Network, and try new recipes. I have way too many cookbooks! A few of my favorites are: Barefoot Contessa (any - but especially 'Family Style'),Rachael Ray 30-Minute Meals 2, Roasting by Barbara Kafka, Beyond Parsley & The Black Dog Summer on the Vineyard Cookbook. I try to carefully choose recipes that I think my family will enjoy, which is why most of my ratings are 3-5 stars. Happy cooking!
