Jambalaya
Jambalaya is traditionally made by combining all ingredients in one pot and completed by adding rice. Generally, it's a very spicy dish, but you can regulate the heat in your own cooking by adding more or less crushed red pepper. You can also experiment with the vegetables in this dish depending on what you like and what's in season.
