Bacon and Shrimp Jambalaya



Bacon and Shrimp Jambalaya

Ingredients

400 grams Smoked Bacon, diced
2 Celery Stalks, diced
1 Red Bell Pepper, diced
4 Cloves Garlic, chopped
3 Sprigs of Thyme
2 Cups Organic Brown Long Grain Rice
½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 Can (28 oz/796 ml) Whole Tomatoes, diced & reserved about ½ cup liquid
4 ½ Cups Chicken Stock
1 ½ Cup Frozen Cooked Small Shrimps, thawed
1 Cup Frozen Corn, thawed
Sea Salt
Freshly Ground Black Pepper

Method

In a large saucepan, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered, until crisp. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside-reserved ½ portion for sprinkling. Pour the rendered bacon fat in a bowl for another use.

Meanwhile, heat the saucepan over medium heat with one tablespoon of the reserved rendered bacon fat. Add the celery, pepper, and garlic and cook until the mixture is sticky and slightly caramelized. Then, add the thyme, rice, and cayenne pepper. Give the mixture a good stir, season with sea salt and pepper. Then add the tomatoes, reserved liquid, and chicken stock. Bring it to a boil, reduce the heat, cook, covered for about 25 to 30 minutes, or until the liquid is absorbed.

Remove the cover, stir in the bacon, cooked shrimps and corn. Cook uncovered for another 10 minutes until excess moisture is evaporated. Sprinkle the reserved bacon before serving.

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
