Today, decide what skill to pass onto your relatives
Cooking! I’m not a chef, but I certainly can whip up something yummy. I intend to pass down a collection of Laura-ized recipes and meals. As you can see, I’ve already included some recipes in my blog. :0) Here is my version of jambalaya that I made on Halloween.
Jambalaura
1 package smoked polish turkey sausage - 1/2” chunks
1/2 white onion - 1/2” chunks
1/2 red bell pepper - 1/2” chunks
1/2 yellow bell pepper - 1/2” chunks
1/2 orange bell pepper - 1/2” chunks
1/2 package sliced mushrooms
1/2 jar tomato sauce - not too sweet
1 cup white wine - not too sweet
4 green onions - chopped
1 cup cilantro - coarsely chopped
6 garlic cloves - crushed
8-ish overripe vine tomatoes - quartered
Worchester sauce - 1 tea spoon
Extra virgin olive oil - 1 table spoon
Salted Butter - 2 table spoons
Yellow mustard - 2 table spoon
Sriracha - 1 table spoon
Montreal steak seasoning - Several shakes
Mrs. Dash - Several shakes
2 cups white rice w/ 2 & 1/2 cups water - Cook separately in rice cooker
Add all the above to a large pot and simmer until flavor is to your liking. This is a taste as you go dish, so you’ll need to keep tasting the sauce until you like the flavor. Add a little more of whatever you think is missing until you get the desired taste. Also, as long as it is hot and tastes good, then it is ready to serve (as the sausage is precooked). If you’d like, this is a meal that can sit in a slow cooker/crock pot and left on low all day. When you’re ready to eat, just mix in the rice that you cooked separately, and voila! Dinner is served.
