Midwest Rice Pot

I’d never call this a jambalaya. Many of the hallmarks of cajun-creole cooking are not followed here. Jambalaya is, however, an inspiration for this recipe utilizing the full range of my veggie drawer to bring heat and flavor to a one pot meal big enough to feed a family of four. Cajun seasoning and jalapeno come together to bring a zing to the tomato-y, veggie-forward one pot dish.

Most of what I use, I keep in my refrigerator at almost all times. This is one of the most accessible rice recipes in my arsenal, and I’m glad to share it with you. Chicken broth can of course be made using a bouillon cube if you don’t keep box stock or homemade on hand! Our cajun seasoning recipe is now on the website if you’re interested, or Tony C’s will work just fine if you don’t want to mix your own.

Not Jambalaya, but still tasty. Cajun flavors on a budget while cleaning out the veggie drawer. Learning slowly but surely how to use some new equipment. Full recipe and measurements out on my website! #cooking #recipes #rice
