- 1 cup diced celery
- 1 green bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1 red bell pepper, cored and diced
- 1 cup seeded and diced tomato
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced OR 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
- 2 teaspoons diced fresh oregano
- 1 teaspoon diced fresh thyme
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 cups chicken stock, preferably homemade
- 3 cups long-grain rice, rinsed

Directions
Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or black iron pot over medium heat, add the kielbasa and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until browned. Remove the kielbasa to a bowl, and set aside. Add the ham to the same pot and cook 8 to 10 minutes, until lightly browned. Remove to the bowl with the kielbasa, and set aside. Add the butter, onion, celery and peppers to the same pot and saute for 8 to 10 minutes, until the onion is translucent. Add the tomato, garlic, jalapeno or cayenne, oregano, thyme, and tomato paste and cook until all the vegetables and herbs are blended well. Add the stock and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the rice, and add the sausage, ham, bay leaves, salt, pepper and hot sauce. Return to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of the scallions, 1/4 cup of the parsley, the lemon juice and the shrimp, and stir well. Cover the pot, remove it from the heat and allow the jambalaya steam, for 15 minutes, before serving.
Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup scallions and 1/2 cup parsley, and a dash of hot sauce, if desired.

What a great recipe. I will agree with only using 2 3/4 cups of rice. I brought it in for a group dinner here at the base and the guys tore into it... yep you guessed it... none left...This is a keeper recipe for sure.. Thanks!!

This recipe is always a big hit whenever it's made. I always have to cook rice a little longer than specified and add a bit more liquids, But it always turns out well with no left overs in site.
