Jambalaya
Description
In honor of Mardi Gras, I went searching for a recipe for jambalaya. No problem, right? Surely, there are plenty of recipes for jambalaya... but... not a jambalaya for my family. No meat...no tomatoes...really hard to find one like that! So, I was going to have to tweak one to fit our needs. Luckily, Betty has a recipe for Quick Jambalaya, which is exactly what I need...Q-U-I-C-K...everyone's hungry and if I don't act fast, they'll pressure me into...dum, dum, dumm...going out for dinner...gasp! So here goes...

1 15 oz can kidney beans, drained and rinsed
1 1/2 cups uncooked instant rice
1 1/2 cups vegetable broth, canned or homemade
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
1/4 teaspoon chili powder
1/8 teaspoon ground red chili pepper
3 mini sweet peppers
1 15 oz can stewed, crushed tomatoes
1 small onion, finely chopped or liquified
Preparation
1. I added a little olive oil in a deep skillet and heated the onions, well the onion liquid, if your cooking for onion haters.
2. Once it was heated I added the rest of the ingredients. A little side note***when I made the vegetable broth, I kept the veggies instead of discarding them and added them in as well!
3. Allow to simmer uncovered for 10 minutes, or until rice is soft.
It was so yummy! I've never had jambalaya before, but man I will definitely make it again...for me. The kids said it was good, but it was too spicy for my daughter and my son doesn't like casserole-type food...WHAT?? Since when? But, they ate it and didn't complain or resort to the old stand-by...peanut-butter and jelly.

Sorry, but I am from Louisiana. This dish does not even resemble jambalaya. I don't doubt that it is good, it just needs a different name.
