Spicy Mock Jambalaya - Deep S

Odd Jammbie - Deep S

Serves 6-8

6 people - 2 cups portion

8 people - 1 ½ cups portion

8 cups water/chicken broth

6 cups chicken from thighs, shredded

1 cup frozen okra

4 cups zucchini, half peeled, and all cubed

⅓ cup diced onion

1 red bell pepper, diced

1 large head of cauliflower,’riced’

2-3 teaspoons creole seasoning

1 hot turkey sausage link, cut small

⅔ cup peas

• Put okra and half the zucchini into a bowl, and use a stick blender to blend it really well. *
• Add everything to a stock pot, and cook on low to medium until all veggies are soft, and flavors meld together. (About 2 hours)

Serve with a side of Swiss bread, top with sour cream, butter, chives!If you add the sour cream it's not a Deep S, so beware!!!!!!!!!

Enjoy!

*my family doesn’t like okra, so I blend it, to hide it! If your family doesn’t mind it, toss it in whole, or blend it. Blended tends to make this creamy in texture, and looks.
