Jambalaya is a tasty fusion dish developed in Louisiana and inspired by African, Spanish and French cuisines. It makes a deliciously different family meal that's ready in just over half an hour. Our recipe uses leftover pepper, onion and passata from a pizza recipe, see tip, but you could easily fry up some fresh onions and peppers if you haven't made the pizzas. See method

Method

  1. Heat a lidded frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the chorizo for 3-4 mins until crisp at the edges and releasing its oil. Add the Cajun seasoning and the onion and pepper mix from our red pepper pizza recipe, then cook for 2-3 mins until aromatic and heated through.
  2. Stir through the rice and add the stock and leftover passata. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender. Scatter over the parsley, squeeze over the lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges.
