Instructions to make Jambalaya:

1. Measure out your rice into a pan, and wash the rice by running cold water into it, swishing it around, tipping the water away, then doing it again until the water is considerably less cloudy. Drain the rice and keep ready for later.
2. Chop up the chicken thighs into morcels. Season the raw meat with salt and pepper.
3. Skin the sausage and chop the into slices or chunks.
4. Heat some oil in a large pan and fry the chicken and sausage for a a few minutes.
5. Once the chicken is browned and the chorizo has coloured the oil, remove the meat from the pan.
6. Fry the onion, celery and green peppers in the lovely chorizo-y oil, until the onion is soft – about 10 minutes.
7. While you’re frying, boil the kettle and put boiling water in a pan. In a separate bowl, prepare some iced water. Dunk your tomatoes in the boiling water for about 30 seconds, then remove them and put them in the ice water.
8. You should now be able to peel the tomatoes’ skin off. Once you’ve done that, roughly chop the tomatoes.
9. Add the herbs and spices into the pan and stir in, cooking for 30 seconds or so.
10. Then add tomatoes to the pan and stir in. Cook for a few minutes.
11. Put the meat back into the pan, then add the rice. Stir to mix the rice with all the other goodies.
12. Now, pour the stock into the pan. Bring it to a simmer, then lower the heat so it doesn’t burn.
13. Cook for about as long as the rice packet says it’ll take, usually 12-15 minutes. Stir occasionally, but not too much and not too hard. You don’t want the rice breaking up and turning into a slop.
14. While it cooks, chop up your spring onions.
15. Once the rice is just tender and the water is mostly absorbed, sprinkle over the spring onion.
16. It’s ready to serve. Some people stir in chilli sauce at this point, or if you have some spice wimps in your midst, you could just leave it and let people administer the spicy sauce themselves.
17. Eat.
