== Intro ==
A guy I play paintball with first introduced me to Jambalaya, a Cajun/Creole dish that has its roots in French and Spanish cuisine and is particularly popular in New Orleans. It's spicy, it's hearty, it's nutritionally well balanced, so I've been tweaking a recipe I found until I made something that I thought was suitable and cost effective. Total prep time is about 1-1.5 hours. So, enjoy.

== Ingredients ==
'''Meats'''
*2 chicken thighs
*1/2 pound imitation crab meat (can be substituted for shrimp, or if you don't like seafood, smoked sausage)

'''Vegetables'''
*1/2 a green pepper
*1 onion
*2 celery stalks

'''Spices''' (If you don't like things too spicy, cut these amounts in half)
*1 tsp cayenne pepper
*1 1/2 tsp white pepper
*2 tsp kosher salt
*1 tsp thyme
*1 tsp sage
*1 tsp garlic salt

'''Other Ingredients'''
*1/4 cup red beans
*Butter
*1 1/2 cups tomato sauce
*2 cups long grain rice
*3 cups chicken broth
*2 tbs hot sauce
*6 bay leaves

== Time to cook ==
*Start out by boiling your red beans for about 30 minutes. You can save yourself a bit of time if you do this in a separate pot, or doing this the night before. When they're done, drain them.
*While that's going on, dice up your vegetables and your meats. Keep in mind, the chicken shrinks a lot as it cooks, so cut those pieces larger than you want them. As you're finishing that up, put your pot/pan on the stove on medium heat.
*Once you're done dicing, melt butter in your pan and put your vegetables in. You'll be sauteeing them, so keep them moving so they caramelize instead of burning.
*Once your vegetables start to soften up, add in your meat. Again, stir it fairly frequently.
*As the outside of your chicken starts to get cooked, add the tomato sauce and spices. Cook that for about a minute, then add your rice, cook for another minute.
*Add your remaining ingredients (Beans, broth, hot sauce, bay leaves), stir it all together, and turn the heat down to low.
*Cover the jambalaya, and let it simmer for 30-45 minutes, stirring it every 10-20 minutes.

== And you're done ==
Let it cool a bit, put it in a bowl and eat. This goes well with Abita Turbodog beer. I personally make a batch this size and eat it over the course of about 2 days.

I have a picture of the batch I just made. I'll upload it if my email ever loads.
