Jamie Olivers Chicken Sausage And Prawn Jambalaya Recipes

CREOLE-STYLE RED JAMBALAYA WITH CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, AND SHRIMP RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Season chicken all over with salt and pepper. In a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken and cook, turning, until browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 minutes, then cut into 1/2-inch chunks and set aside.
• Meanwhile, add sausage to Dutch oven and cook, stirring often, until just starting to darken, about 3 minutes; lower heat and/or add oil at any point to prevent burning. Add onion, bell pepper, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring and scraping bottom of Dutch oven, until browned bits have come loose and vegetables just begin to turn lightly golden, about 8 minutes.
• Stir in rice and return to a simmer. Cover with lid and transfer to oven. Bake until liquid is fully absorbed and rice is tender, about 40 minutes.
• Serve, passing hot sauce at the table for diners to add to taste.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE AND SHRIMP JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter and vegetable oil in large skillet or dutch oven pan over medium high heat. Add chicken breasts and andouille sausage slices and cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally so all sides are lightly browned and the chicken is cooked through. Remove from pan and set aside.
• Lower heat to medium, add the additional 2 tablespoons of butter and add the celery, onion, bell pepper and garlic. Cook for 7-8 minutes or until vegetables soften.
• Add crushed tomatoes, chicken stock, creole seasoning, bay leaves and hot sauce. Cook for 5 minutes then add rice and cook for about 15 minutes.
• Add chicken and sausage back to pan with shrimp and the okra and cook until chicken and sausage is warmed through and the shrimp and okra are cooked through. Season with kosher salt to taste and garnish with green onions.

CHICKEN, SAUSAGE & PRAWN JAMBALAYA

Steps:

• Jambalaya is a French word that means 'jumbled' or 'mixed up', and I have no doubt that the philosophy and heart of this recipe come from a similar place to paella, kedgeree and risotto.
• Originally, any Louisiana 'critter' unlucky enough to get caught would have gone into this: rabbit, duck, squirrel, frog, alligator. . . you name it! And similarly, you can adapt it to whatever your local butcher or fishmonger happens to have. Go cheaper by using things like frozen prawns and chicken livers, or more expensive by including lobster or crab. I used an incredible local smoked sausage called andouille, but fresh chorizo or any other smoked sausage would work just as well.
• This dish makes me happy every time I eat it. And if more people than expected turn up for dinner just add a bit of extra rice.
• Season the chicken with sea salt, black pepper and a pinch of cayenne. Pour a couple of lugs of oil into a large casserole type pan and brown the chicken pieces and sliced sausage over a medium heat. After 5 minutes, once nicely browned on all sides, add your onion, peppers and celery as well as your bay, thyme and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir, then fry on a medium heat for 10 to 12 minutes stirring every now and again. It's important to control the heat of the pan: you don't want it to be so slow nothing's happening, or so fast that things are catching and burning. You want a steady, solid heat.
• Once the veg have softened, add your garlic and chillies, stir around for a minute, then stir in the tinned tomatoes and chicken stock.
• Bring everything to the boil, then turn the heat down, pop the lid on the pan and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. When you can pull the meat off the bone and shred it easily the chicken's ready. Feel free to remove the chicken bones at this point if you like, then add your rice. Give it all a good stir, then put the lid on. Give it a stir every few minutes, scraping the goodness off the bottom of the pan as you go. Let it cook for about 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is perfectly cooked. Stir in the prawns and if it needs it, add enough water to make it a kind of porridgey consistency (look at the picture). Pop the lid back on and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes while you chop your parsley. Stir the parsley through and serve on a lovely big platter. I absolutely love this with a lemony green salad.
