Cajun Cabbage Jambalaya

Print Recipe

Smoked sausage, cabbage, and veggies simmer with Cajun spices for a comforting southern meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 225 grams smoked pork sausage, sliced into 1-centimetre rounds
  • 1 white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper, diced
  • 1 celery stalk, chopped
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 240 millilitres canned diced tomatoes
  • 240 millilitres chicken broth
  • 140 grams cabbage, shredded
  • 50 grams long grain rice
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 0.5 teaspoon Cajun seasoning blend

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced smoked pork sausage and cook for 1 minute to render some fat and achieve light browning.
  2. Add the chopped onion to the pan and cook until translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Incorporate the chopped celery and diced green bell pepper, stirring frequently until vegetables have softened and sausage is fully cooked.
  4. Add the shredded cabbage, chicken broth, and canned diced tomatoes to the skillet. Stir in the Cajun seasoning, salt, black pepper, and long grain rice. Mix thoroughly.
  5. Increase heat and bring mixture to a gentle boil. Reduce heat to low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, or until both rice and cabbage are tender and liquid is absorbed.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

For a smokier flavour, briefly brown the sausage before adding aromatics. Allowing the dish to rest covered for five minutes after cooking improves rice texture.
