Paul's Jambalaya

Ingredients

• 2 links of your favorite type sausage
• 1/2 small green bell pepper
• 1/2 small white onion
• 4 garlic cloves
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons flour
• 1 teaspoon cayenne powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 pinch allspice
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 cup rice
• 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
• 3 cups water

Directions

1. 1

   1. Cut sausage into .25 inch slices and fry until cooked. Then remove.

2. 2

   2. Add olive oil and heat, then add bell pepper, onion, and garlic.

3. 3

   3. Add flour, cayenne, paprika, allspice, and salt.

4. 4

   4. Let cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute.

5. 5

   5. Add rice and cook for 30 seconds to one minute.

6. 6

   6. Add tomato paste and 2 cups of water.

7. 7

   7. Let this cook down and then check the rice. If it is too hard still, add the rest of the water. I recommend stirring this frequently as the tomato and rice will form a solid mixture that will keep the water out of the rice, keeping it hard.
