Red pepper and chorizo jambalaya recipe
Created by The Tesco Recipes team
Jambalaya is a tasty fusion dish developed in Louisiana and inspired by African, Spanish and French cuisines. It makes a deliciously different family meal that's ready in just over half an hour. Our recipe uses leftover pepper, onion and passata from a pizza recipe, see tip, but you could easily fry up some fresh onions and peppers if you haven't made the pizzas.

Method
- Heat a lidded frying pan over a low-medium heat and fry the chorizo for 3-4 mins until crisp at the edges and releasing its oil. Add the Cajun seasoning and the onion and pepper mix from our red pepper pizza recipe, then cook for 2-3 mins until aromatic and heated through.
- Stir through the rice and add the stock and leftover passata. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to low, then cover and simmer for 20-25 mins until the rice is tender. Scatter over the parsley, squeeze over the lemon juice and serve with lemon wedges.
