Jambalaya, like paella but better

This recipe is one of my child hood favourites, something that my dad would make and I'd go back for bowl after bowl - it's fantasticly morish!

The recipe is actually Delia's, but I made some alterations

  • I skipped the green chilli because none of the shops had any in.
  • Instead of 110g of chorizo sausage, I used 125g of Danish Salami.

  • I left out the Tabasco sauce, and instead added used some harrisa paste that we had in.
  • I also added half a tsp of ground allspice (not mixed spice)
    then some ground ginger, ground cumin, ground coriander, and paprika to taste.

Because this was my first time re-creating the dish it actually took me 2 hours from start to finish, including eating.

Unlike Paul's cheap fishy Thai green curry it totalled in about £12. But that's okay, because there was enough left over to Tupperware-up two containers worth for lunch and tea tomorrow!
