Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion and green bell pepper in the hot oil until tender, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir garlic into vegetables and cook until fragrant and softened, about 2 minutes.

  • Stir kielbasa sausage, tomatoes with juice, water, paprika, oregano, thyme, and hot sauce into onion mixture, bring to a boil, and stir in orzo. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until orzo are tender, about 10 minutes.

Cook's Note:

You may also want to brown the sausage before adding it to all the other ingredients. It is still excellent without browning first, though.

This recipe lived up to the name. I put shrimp into the recipe b/c it's not jambalaya (to me) without shrimp. I skipped the hot sauce, opting for a dash of cayenne. Read More

This was a huge hit! I have a large family so I tripled the recipe. I used beef cheddar kielbasa and doubled the herds & spices. For added color I used red orange and yellow bell peppers. I will definitely be making this again. Read More

I've never had true Jumbalaya before so I'm not sure how close this is the "the real thing" but if Jumbalaya is even remotely similar in flavor then I'm a fan. This was fantastic!!! I used andoulli sausage instead of the kielbasa and added a 1/2lb of shrimp. I might just make this a weekly staple. It was simple to make with minimal ingredients and minimal time spent cooking. Awesome dish. Can't say enough good things about it! Thanks for the recipe. Read More

I have made this several times and it is a family favorite. I have even substituted frozen vegetables for the peppers when I didn't have peppers and it was still delicious. Very quick and easy. Read More
