INSTRUCTIONS
Over medium-high heat in a large saucepan, heat the oil, brown off the
pork, then remove from the pot. Add the onions, green onions, parsley, and
bell pepper, and cook until the onions are brown. Stirring, add the wine,
mint, garlic, rice, meat, salt, hot sauce, and enough water (or stock) to
cover the rice by 1/2 inch. Continue cooking on medium-high heat, stirring
occasionally. Bring the stock to a boil and let boil until it has
disappeared from the top, stir again, then lower heat. Cover the pot and
simmer for at least 1 hour before lifting the lid. Then check the rice for
doneness, stir, cover, and let steam another 15 to 20 minutes.
"A jambalaya is a meal that we like cooking outside as well as inside. When
we cook it outside, it's usually done in a forty-quart pot. All the family
and friends come over, and we pass a good time. This is a popular dish
served at all social gatherings in southern Louisiana."-Justin Wilson
