Jambalaya

1. While Creole sauce simmers, combine uncooked rice and 4 cups of water in a medium pot.

2. Bring water to a boil, lower heat to medium low, cover, and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until rice is soft but firm.

3. Remove rice from heat and set aside.

4. To cook the chicken and the sausage, heat two medium pans with a splash each of canola oil over medium heat.

5. Add sliced sausage to one pan and cook while turning until juices run clear and sausage is no longer pink in the middle; remove sausage from heat and set aside.

6. Add sliced chicken breast to the second pan and cook, while flipping, until chicken is no longer pink in the middle; remove from heat and set aside.

7. To make jambalaya, heat 4 tablespoons of canola oil in a large pot over high heat.

8. Add shrimp to the pot and sear on each side for 1 to 2 minutes; season shrimp with salt and pepper.

9. Add reserved chicken and sausage to the pot along with the Cajun spice; stir and cook over medium heat until chicken and sausage is browned.

10. Add garlic and okra to the pot and stir while cooking for 1 minute, until okra starts to soften.

11. Deglaze the pan with white wine, loosening caramelized meat off the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon.

12. Reduce heat to medium low and add reserved Creole sauce; bring jambalaya to a simmer and season to taste with salt and pepper.

13. Add cooked rice to the pot and stir over medium low heat for 4 to 5 minutes, until rice is hot.

14. To make the jambalaya extra spicy, add additional Cajun spice, to taste.
