- 1/2 stick butter
- 4 Tbs flour
- 2 16-oz. cans beef broth (or 3 cups bouillon)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 medium white onions, chopped fine
- 6 scallions with their green leaves, chopped
- 1 small green bell pepper, chopped
- 4 Creole tomatoes, peeled and chopped (or a 16 oz. can tomatoes, drained and chopped)
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/2 tsp thyme leaves

- 1/8 tsp ground allspice

Preparation
Step 1
1. Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, add sausage, ham, onions, scallions, green pepper, and garlic, and cook until the vegetables are soft and transparent. Stir in the flour. Stir in the chopped tomatoes and their juice. Stir in the bay leaf, thyme, cumin, cloves, allspice, cayenne, and black pepper. Add the beef broth and mix well. Add the raw shrimp and chicken. Stir in the raw rice. Season with salt, approximately a tablespoon to start. The liquid in the pot should just cover the contents Add more broth or bouillon if necessary. Bring it to the boil, and then cut the heat very low, cover the pot, and cook until the rice is done. (The rice will absorb most of the moisture. A jambalaya should be damp but not soupy.) Adjust the salt and serve at once to 8 or 10 hungry people. Anyone who doesn't have a really good appetite should not be allowed to eat jambalaya.
2. Wash it down with a good full-bodied red wine.
