Cajun Cabbage Jambalaya is a flavorful dish that combines elements of traditional jambalaya with the addition of cabbage, which adds a unique texture and flavor profile. Here’s a simple recipe to try:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb Andouille sausage, sliced
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 bell pepper, chopped
- 2 celery stalks, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
- 1 cup long-grain white rice
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 2 teaspoons Cajun seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Hot sauce (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
- Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the sliced Andouille sausage and cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the sausage from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and celery. Cook until the vegetables are softened, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
- Stir in the thinly sliced cabbage and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes.
- Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the skillet, along with the cooked sausage, rice, chicken broth, and Cajun seasoning. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the Cajun Cabbage Jambalaya hot, garnished with chopped green onions. Offer hot sauce on the side for those who prefer an extra kick.
Enjoy your Cajun-inspired creation!
