Introduction
My friends and neighbors ( and Guido) love my Jambalaya and are always asking me to write down the recipe. I often make the sauce ahead of time, leaving out the chicken and seafood, and freeze it. This makes it easy to have a nice jambalaya dinner in a hurry.
Ingredients

1 1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp cayenne_pepper
3/4 tsp dried thyme leaves
1 tsp ground oregano
1 1/4 tsp white_pepper
1 tsp black pepper
1 tsp creole_seasoning (Zaterians is good)
1 cup smoked ham ,diced (preferrably tasso) or Cure 81
1/2 cup diced smoked andouille sausage or 1 med sized polish sausage, diced
3 med sized chicken breast halves, cut into bite sized pieces
1/4 cup olive oil
1 cup diced celery
2 med white onions , diced
1 med red or green bell_pepper , diced
2 tsps minced fresh garlic
1 large can cut up tomatoes with juice
1/2 small can tomato_paste
2 cups seafood stock or Knorr's shrimp bouillion
1/2 pound medium shrimp , cleaned and devined (do not use cooked shrimp)
1 pound lump crabmeat
2 cups uncooked white rice

Note: You can replace the crab with a quart of shucked oysters . I don't like oysters and think they permeate the dish with their flavor to much.But if you like them then enjoy! This is a very mildly hot recipe. I always taste and adjust as I go along with the seasonings.

Directions
Step: 1


In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add vegetables and cook over medium heat,stirring often until onion is golden, about 10 minutes.Add seasonings and garlic and cook another 5 minutes. Add ham,sausage and chicken and cook stirring constantly until chicken is browned. Add seafood stock, canned tomato's and tomato paste and mix well.

Step: 2Simmer sauce about 30 minutes. Taste and adjust cayenne and salt to taste. In a large greased, deep pan, place raw rice. Pour sauce over rice and stir to mix well.Cover pan tightly with 2 layers of aluminum foil and place in a 350 degree oven. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until rice is tender but not mushy. During last 10 minutes of cooking, carefully uncover pan and lay crab meat and shrimp on top. Replace foil and return to oven for remaining cook time.
