In honor of Mardi Gras (Fat Tuesday) this past week, we got out one of our favorite recipes for Jambalaya, a traditional Cajun dish that we associate with the celebration held in the Crescent City of New Orleans.

Of course, we have this meal at other times of the year as well. It consists of three kinds of meat – chicken breast, Andouille sausage and shrimp. In addition, there are tomatoes, carrots, celery and a variety of herbs and spices in a chicken stock base. The Jambalaya is served in bowls over a bed of white rice. It sure is a good, hearty, comfort food dish.
