by John A. Heatherly

(Editor’s note: I find that many survival types are also good campfire cooks! (See John’s bio below) It makes sense – whatever food you have available during an emergency should be tasty, or food monotony could set in. For those of you

unfamiliar with jambalaya, the dish apparently originated in the deep south, in Louisiana.  Jambalaya is considered by most Louisianans to be a filling, but simple-to-prepare rice dish. The recipe is a suggested guideline – I’ve had jambalaya made with just about anything you could imagine. Talk about a comfort food…Anyway, check out the cooking videos below!)

This simple jambalaya recipe is always a hit, John writes, especially when cast iron cookware is employed to add to the fun.

Heatherly’s Jambalaya

Ingredients

1 lb. Hot Smoked Sausage

1lb. chicken (cubed)

2 jalapeno peppers, diced (or 1 green bell pepper for less “heat”)

1 white onion, diced

1 can light red beans

2 cans diced tomatoes

3 gloves garlic, diced

white rice (enough for at least 1 serving per person)

Weber Grill Creations Cajun Seasoning Mix

½ lb. shrimp (added separately as one in our party had a shellfish allergy – normally shrimp is stirred into the jambalaya for the last 3 minutes of cook time)

For rice, I use a scientific formula in a one-quart dutch oven. I add “one-knuckle deep” of rice and “two-knuckles deep” of water. Generally the rice cooks faster than
the jambalaya, though in this last instance I placed the one-quart dutch oven over coals first to start heating the water. Once the water boils, leave the lid in place
and remove from direct heat. The rice will be sticky and cooked in just a few minutes with no further effort (for those new to cast iron cooking – I made sure to
oil up all of the cast iron with olive oil before and after heating. This maintains the seasoning.

The onion, garlic, and peppers can be softened on the inverted lid while the meats brown in the large dutch oven. Once the chicken and sausage are brown, add the onion, garlic, and peppers from the lid. Stir in the light red beans and diced tomatoes, then let it simmer for at least one hour (the longer the better, but this will taste great either way!) Add liberal
amounts of Cajun Seasoning, to taste.  A couple of hours later and the finished product is ready!
