An authentic Southern jambalaya is made with long-grain white rice, but I prefer the nutty flavor of cracked wheat because it plays better against the zing of the cayenne and the pungent aroma of the thyme.

Ingredients

  • 1 large or 2 small onions
  • 2 ribs celery
  • 2

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Finely chop the onions and celery Core, seed, and finely chop the peppers. You can do this chopping in a food processor.
  3. Heat the oil in a medium-size heat-proof saucepan or casserole over medium heat. Add the onion
