Ham Jambalaya


A simple one-pot cajun dish using leftover ham. I usually add more spices to this as we like it spicier, but this version works well with kids and those that don't like it as spicy.

Steps


Heat oil in large dutch oven over medium heat.
Add onions , bell peppers and garlic.
Saute until beginning to soften , about 10 minutes.
Mix in tomatoes with their juices , ham , wine , thyme , basil , paprika , and cayenne pepper.
Bring to boil.
Gradually stir in rice.
Cover pot.
Reduce heat to medium-low.
Simmer until rice is tender and most liquids are absorbed , about 25 minutes.
Season with salt and pepper.
