Ingredients:

8 ounce(s) kielbasa (smoked Polish sausage) or hot smoked sausage links, thinly sliced

3 teaspoon(s) vegetable oil

2 pound(s) skinless, boneless chicken thighs

6 clove(s) garlic, crushed with press

3 large celery stalks, sliced

2 medium green and/or yellow peppers, cut into 1/2-inch pieces

2 medium onions, chopped

3 cup(s) (long-grain ) white rice

1 teaspoon(s) paprika

3/4 teaspoon(s) dried oregano

1/2 teaspoon(s) dried thyme

1 teaspoon(s) salt

1 3/4 cup(s) (one 14 1/2-ounce can) chicken broth

1 can(s) (14 1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes

1 cup(s) water

1/2 teaspoon(s) hot pepper sauce

Directions

In deep 12-inch skillet with oven-safe handle and lid (or with handle and lid handle wrapped in double thickness of foil for baking in oven later), cook kielbasa over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until browned, stirring occasionally. With slotted spoon, transfer kielbasa to medium bowl.

Add 2 teaspoons oil to drippings in skillet, then add chicken, in 3 batches, and cook 5 minutes per batch or until browned, turning over once. Transfer chicken to bowl with kielbasa. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.

Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 teaspoon oil to skillet. Stir in garlic, celery, peppers, and onions; cover and cook 12 to 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally. Add rice, paprika, oregano, thyme, and salt, and cook 1 minute, stirring.

Return chicken with its juices and kielbasa to skillet. Add broth, tomatoes with their juice, water, and hot pepper sauce; heat to boiling over high heat.

Place skillet in oven and bake jambalaya, uncovered, 15 minutes. Remove skillet from oven and stir mixture. Cover and bake 10 minutes longer or until rice is tender. Remove skillet from oven; let stand, covered, 10 minutes. Spoon jambalaya onto dinner plates or spoon desired amount into freezer-safe containers.

Looking for something new to try? Ohn No Kwyaswe - Authentic Burmese recipe for coconut noodles passed on to me by my Mother-in-Law. This is my first attempt in cooking Burmese dish and according to my husband it tastes very authentic! 

Try to make it yourself!

2. Add 2 chicken breasts cut in small peaces, simmer until cooked.

3. Add hot water, enough just to cover the chicken. Boil for 2-3 min.

4. In a separate bowl mix 2 tbsp chickpea powder (there's no substitutions..) with 1/3 cup cold water. Add it to chicken. 

5. Add 1 tsp smoked paprika and 1/2 tsp chili powder. Boil for 2-3 min.

6 Add 1 (560 ml) 20 fl oz can coconut milk. Boil for 2-3 min.

7. Add 1tbsp fish sauce (add more to taste). Boil for 2-3 min.

10. Garnish with fresh chopped shallots or red onion and boiled egg and it's ready to be served!

You can also add cooked fishcakes and prawns (optional) at step #9.

My to-go Pork Roast  recipe borrowed from "The Can't Cook Book" by Jessica Seinfeld :) It was the recipe that started everything! 

Rub pork roast ( mine was 2 lbs) with a mix of 1 tbsp olive oil, fresh ground pepper, salt (enough to cover the roast) 3 crushed garlic cloves and about 7 springs of thyme. In a baking dish add 1 quartered red onion and 2 quartered pink lady apples (cores removed), drizzle with 1 tbsp olive oil, some salt and pepper and them mix until they all covered. Put pork roast with the fatty side on top!( fat will melt nicely and makes meat tender and juicy)in the centre of the baking dish and bake for 50-60 min at 400F.

Done!

Let me know how it turned out for you!
