[Recipe] Jambalaya à la Dru

Here's a first recipe.
I combined three recipes I'd found online, and the dish is delicious (even better on Day 2!)
Enjoy!


Jambalaya à la Dru (a combination of recipes)

Ingredients
2 to 3 pounds chicken breasts, cut into small pieces
2 pounds (big) prawns
1 pound smoked sausage, sliced
3 green sweet peppers, diced
2 onions, diced
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 cans (800g) peeled and diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce
1 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
5 bay leaves
1 small can tomato paste (70g)
1 big bowl uncooked white rice


Directions
1      Place chicken and sausage in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until chicken is opaque (about 45 minutes). Remove chicken and sausage, reserving broth.

2      In a large pot over medium heat, cook bell peppers, onions and garlic until onions are translucent, adding reserved chicken broth. Stir in tomatoes, chili powder, pepper sauce, cayenne, Worcestershire and bay leaves; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.

3      Stir the chicken, sausage and tomato paste into the spiced vegetables. Continue to simmer until flavor is as spicy as you like, adding reserved liquid as needed to thin.

4      Stir in 1 cup reserved liquid with the rice. Simmer 20 minutes, until rice is tender. Add prawns, and stir to evenly distribute. Cook for 8 minutes, or until prawns turn pink.

the tomatoes- how big are the cans? how many ounces? we get them all sizes here...

Oops! Sorry! We've got only one size here: 400g / 425ml (the size of a can of soup?). And for the paste, it's the smallest ones: 70g.
I'll go edit the recipe! ;)

This looks really good. I may have to give it a try, though I'll have to moderate the use of the cayanne and other hot stuff. *grin*

By all means, do adapt the recipe!
This one's already a mix of several...
