How to Make Alicia S Jambalaya

  1. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the onion, bell pepper, and celery and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add the andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5 minutes more.
  4. Stir in the rice, diced tomatoes, chicken broth, Cajun seasoning, paprika, and cayenne pepper (if using).
  5. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the liquid is absorbed.
  6. Remove from heat and let stand for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
  7. Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
