How To Make Vegetable Jambalaya
This Quick Vegetable Jambalaya is a recipe that uses one of my favorite shortcut rice mixes. We usually have rice a few times a week in our house. It’s just a great compliment to any dish. I specifically use Zatarain’s because they are always perfectly seasoned and you can make a quick meal by adding a protein.
Ingredients to make Quick Vegetable Jambalaya:
- Chopped onion
- Zatarain’s Jambalaya mix
- A can of diced tomatoes
- Frozen mixed veggie blend of your choice.
Now don’t blink because this is super simple to make, which makes it a great side since you can just put it on and go about preparing the rest of the meal.
Vegetable Jambalaya Recipe
- Place water and tomatoes (with juice) in a large sauce pot and bring this to a boil over medium high heat.
- Stir in rice mix and onion and return to a boil. Once it gets back to boiling, reduce heat to just simmering and cover.
- Allow this to cook for about 15 minutes, then stir in frozen veggies and cook about ten minutes longer, or until the rice and veggies are tender.
