Gregory's Hot Jambalaya

One of the tastiest meals you will ever eat!

Seasoning mix: 

4 bay leaves

1 t. salt

1 t. white pepper

1 t. dry mustard

1 t. cayenne pepper

1/2 t. cumin

1/2 t. black pepper

1/2 t. dried thyme

4 T. margarine

6 oz. smoked ham, diced (we use a large 12 oz. Kielbasa sausage instead of using ham)

6 oz. smoked sausage, diced

1 1/2 c. chopped onions

1 1/2 c chopped celery

1 c. chopped bell pepper

1 1/2 t. garlic, minced

2 c. uncooked rice

4 c. chicken stock

Combine seasoning mix in small bowl, set aside. Melt margarine in large heavy skillet over high heat. Add ham and sausage (or just the Kielbasa), cook 5 minutes while stirring. Add onions, celery, peppers, seasoning mix, and garlic. Stir well, and cook until browned, 10-12 minutes. Scrape pan bottom well. Stir in rice and cook 5 minutes. Add stock and stir well. Bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer until rice is tender. About 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Enjoy!
