Sausage Jambalaya

Recipe From: HEB
Blake discovered a Cajun Meat Market - Herbert's on Dairy Ashford. He brought home jalapeno sausage, a stuffed whole chicken (de-boned) and stuffed jalapenos. We ate well for a few days. The sausage was great in the jambalaya.

Ingredients:
1 link smoked sausage (thinly sliced)
1 cup onion (chopped)
1 cup celery (chopped)
1 can diced tomatoes
2 cups water
1 pkg Zatarain's Jambalaya Dinner Mix (original flavor)
1 cup frozen corn

Heat oil in a skillet and saute onion, celery and sausage for 5 minutes. Add tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil. Stir in jambalaya mix. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove from heat and add frozen corn. Let stand until corn is cooked in. Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

Chicken & Sausage Gumbo

Recipe From: Delicious Dishes Blog

Start by making a roux:
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour

On medium high heat, melt them together, whisking the whole time. You want to whisk it until it becomes a light brown color. After it turns a light brown color I add the following:

1 tsp. Dijon mustard
3 Roma tomatoes (blended in the blender with a little water to make them smooth)
2 tsp chili garlic sauce
1 tbsp molasses
1 tsp salt
1 can chicken broth
1 small onion (chopped)
1 green pepper (chopped)
1/4 tsp pepper
2 bay leaves
1 chicken breast (cooked and shredded)
1 turkey sausage (sliced)

Cover and let it simmer for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend. Serve over cooked rice.
