Slow-Cooker Jambalaya

Slow-Cooker Jambalaya

Sofrito Lovers,

I have become the Slow Cooker King!  I freakin' love my Slow cooker and I try to use it as much as possible.  The whole dump it all in and set-it-and-forget-it aspect of this genre of cooking is right up my alley!  

I've been scouring YouTube for as many slow cooker recipes as possible! Originally posted on Chowhound.com, I found the recipe below and fell in love!  It's spicy, savory, meaty, and so delicious, you must try it!

Dust off your crock pot or Instapot and get to work!  You will love it!

Go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

Slow-Cooker Jambalaya

Adapted from [Allrecipes|http://allrecipes.com/recipe/colleens-slow-cooker-jambalaya/] and [Emeril Lagasse via Food Network|http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/emeril-lagasse/cajun-jambalaya-recipe2/index.html]

Yields:6-8 servings

2 (14.5oz) cans diced tomatoes, undrained

1 large onion, chopped

3 cloves garlic, chopped

1 large green bell pepper, chopped

2 celery stalks, sliced

1 (14.5oz) can chicken broth

2t worcestershire sauce

1lb chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces

12oz smoked sausage (andouille is traditional, but very spicy. I used regular smoked sausage), sliced

2 bay leaves

2t Cajun seasoning (up to 1T if you like it hot)

2t sugar

1/2t dried thyme

1lb uncooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, tails removed

2T fresh flat-leaf parsley, finely chopped, for serving

salt and pepper, to taste

Add everything to a slow-cooker except shrimp, parsley and salt and pepper. Stir together and cook on low for 7-8 hours or high for 4 hours. 

During the last 10 minutes, stir in the shrimp and remove bay leaves. When shrimp are pink and cooked through, it is ready to serve. Season with salt and pepper to taste. 

To serve, use a slotted spoon, then go back and add as much of the liquid to each dish as is your preference using an unslotted spoon. Serve with steamed white rice and fresh parsley.

Jollof Festival '19 - NYC

Sofrito Lovers,

The Jollof Festival is next Saturday in Brooklyn- I am so there!

Jollof Rice is an amazing West African rice dish made with various spices and stewed in a tomato broth.  Spicy, savory, and delicious, Jollof Rice is truly one of the most unique and fascinating West African dishes I've ever had.  If you've never tasted it, then you should really consider going to the festival.

The culinary world often ignores and overlooks West African cuisine and this festival's existence works against that prejudice.  I think the idea behind this festival is brilliant, it's time to popularize these amazing dishes

Check out the post below, click the link to JollofFestival.com and start making your plans for next week!  

Go taste for yourself!  ¡Buen Provecho!

Jollof rice is a one-pot rice dish native to many countries in West Africa. Some consider it the predecessor to the cajun dish, jambalaya.

The Jollof Festival is a day-long celebration of the many variations of this dish, unique to the various West African countries that consider it a staple.

The experience of the Jollof Festival focuses on the pride West Africans exude in their native dishes.

Festival participants not only get to enjoy these foods, but get to interact with the festival itself by voting to determine the winner of the “Jollof Wars,” a head-to-head battle that pits one representative from each country against each other for the title of Best Jollof Rice.

Sofrito Lovers, 

I’m giving up on trying to be a trendy mukbanger because the universe won’t allow me to taste the ever so popular Popeye’s Spicy Sandwich or Burger King’s Impossible Burger! Instead, I’m bringing you an amazing Veggie Pizza with Italian Spicy Sausage! It was awesome!
