On Friday mornings I help in my daughters Kindergarten class. They call it Fun Friday for a good reason. They do an art project and it's cooking day. Sound like a fun day to me!
Today's recipe was Jambalaya. Not authentic (not spicy and no shrimp), but so yummy I had to share. Especially since my daughter loved it!
The rule in Kindergarten is if the kids don't like it, they don't have to eat it. The teacher tells them, "I am not your mother and I am not your father." They do need to circle Yum or Yuk on the recipe sheet.
Here is Jambalaya a la Kindergarten
1 lb smoked sausage - sliced
1 lb ground beef
1 green pepper - chopped
1/2 cup green onion - chopped
5 cloves garlic - minced
1-28 oz can diced/chopped tomatoes
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
White Rice - cooked
Brown the ground beef. Brown the sausage. Add onion, garlic and bell pepper. Add tomatoes, salt and pepper. Cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Stirring occasionally.
Serve over rice.
Serves 4-6
I've been told (I have never had Jambalaya) that you can add shrimp. If you would like it spicy, use spicy sausage and peppers. From what I understand it's a dump type recipe. If there is something you have on hand that sound good, dump it in.
Any other tips and tricks for making Jambalaya? Leave a comment. I would love to hear about other versions. This was so yummy!
