Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp oil
- 1 red onion peeled and finely chopped
- 1 celery stick finely chopped
- 1 green pepper finely chopped
- 2 chicken breasts diced
- 2 garlic cloves peeled and crushed
- 1 red pepper roughly chopped
- 100 g sliced chorizo sausage
- 300 g white basmati rice
- 700 ml gluten free chicken or vegetable stock
For the spice mix:
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp salt
- Chopped fresh parsley for topping optional
Instructions
- Make the spice mix by mixing all of the spice mix ingredients together in a bowl.
- Pour the oil into a large, high-sided pan and place on the hob on a low heat.
- Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped red onion, celery and green pepper. Fry for 3-4 minutes, stirring regularly, until the veg mix starts to soften.
- Next add the diced chicken to the pan, stir fry for a minute, and then add the crushed garlic. Fry for 3-4 minutes until brown on the outside.
- Add the spice mix, red pepper and chorizo to the pan. Stir well so everything is coated and fry for another 1-2 minutes.
- Add the basmati rice to the pan and stir. Once the rice is well coated, pour in the stock. Stir well, bring to the boil and then cover the pan with a lid.
- Turn down to a simmer and simmer on a low heat for around 20 minutes until the rice is tender.
- Remove the lid and take the pan off the heat. Serve up the jambalaya and sprinkle with fresh parsley to serve.
