One Pot Leftover Sausage & Prawn Jambalaya

An easy, student-friendly one pot that is great for using up leftovers.

📝 Ingredients

• (1/4 Cup) White Rice
• 250 ml (1 Cup) Boiling Water
• 1 Small, or 1/2 a regular White Onion, roughly chopped
• 1 Large Handful Cherry Tomatoes, halved
• 1/2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 1/2 Red Bell Pepper, cut into medium chunks
• 1 Small Garlic Clove, crushed
• 1/2 tbsp Paprika (hot, mild, smoked or unsmoked depending on personal preference)
• 1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
• 1 Large Handful Flat Leaf Parsley, roughly chopped
• Freshly Ground Sea Salt & Black Pepper

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Rinse the rice to remove excess starch in a small sieve. The water should appear milky at first, but then run clear. Transfer to a small saucepan with the rest on the ingredients except for the water and parsley. A few good grinds of salt and pepper should be good for now.
2. 2Stir well so everything is coated and add the water.
3. 3Cook on a medium to low heat for about 10-15 minutes, depending on how long your rice takes to cook (have a look at the back of the pack for some indication). Cook with the lid on, stirring occasionally until all the liquid has gone and you are left with a thick sauce. The rice will begin to stick to the bottom of the pan a bit in the last 5 minutes or so; don’t worry. Any slightly brown bits give it a bit more flavour; just give it a good scrape and stir.
4. 4At this point you should add the frozen prawns and any leftover cooked meat to heat through.
5. 5Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley, seasoning again to taste.
