New Orleans-Style Jambalya

I'm all for making dinner from as close scratch as possible, but let's face it sometimes a mix is just too perfect to pass up. Zatarain's is a New Orleans institution, and since I brought this mix back from the Big Easy itself I think it's okay. (You can also find it at Stop & Shop...) 

This tiny box has kept me in lunches for about 6 days-- it's just as good heated up. It's also incredibly cheap- just about $2 for the mix, and $6 for these sausages.

There are literally three steps to this dish. All the specific instructions are on the box.
1. Slice the sausage:


2. Boil the water and oil on the stove:


3. Pour the mix and sausages into the pot. Cook. Dunzo. 
(Look at our cute little Tabasco pot holder, also from New Orleans!)


Served with french bread and salad (with oil and white wine vinegar...not a big fan of balsamic). It is freaking delicious. You can also put chicken or shrimp in it, but I like the sausage because it's pre-cooked. Meat protein without having to deal with raw meat = the best.
