Method

Serve the jambalaya hot.

Heat olive oil in a large pan and sauté onion, peppers, garlic, chorizo, and chicken for ten minutes.

Add the hot chilli peppers to the pan.

Stir in the rice along with chilli powder, turmeric, and Cajun spices until the rice is well coated.

Pour in 1.1 liters of chicken stock or water and bring the mixture to a simmer.

Add the mixed vegetables, bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer.

Incorporate the prawns or crayfish once the rice is partly cooked.

Simmer for 45 to 60 minutes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
