DIRECTIONS

1.

Saute the sausage and seasonings in a braising pan, steam -jacketed kettle, or stock pot for 5 to 10 minutes.

2.

Drain any excess fat from the pan.

3.

Add the chopped peppers, onions, celery, and tomatoes with the sausage mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, or until the vegetables are soft.

4.

For 50 servings, mix 3 pounds plus 4 ounces of raw rice, ½ of the pork mixture, and 3 quarts hot water into each steamtable pan (12" x 20" x 4"). For 100 servings use 2 steamtable pans. Cover the steamtable pans with lids or aluminum foil. Steam the Jambalaya for 30 minutes or until rice is tender. 100 servings yields about 6 ¼ gallons.

The covered mixture can also baked at 350 degrees F for 45 to 50 minutes in a convection oven.

NOTE: The rice amounts are based on USDA Food Buying Guide. Overcooking or hot holding rice for long periods of time will increase the volume and the yield.

CCP:  Heat to 165 degrees F or higher for 15 seconds at the completion of the cooking process.

5.

Serve immediately or cover and place in warmer until ready for service.

Hot holding rice for long periods of time will increase the volume and the yield.

CCP:  Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F.

6.

Portion 1 cup (2 #8 scoops) for each serving. Each portion provides 2 oz. eq. meat/meat alternate, 1 oz. eq. whole grain, and ½ cup other vegetable.

CCP: Hold and maintain product at a minimum temperature of 135 degrees F or higher. Check temperature every 30 minutes. Leftovers should be covered, labeled, and dated. Quick chill within 2 hours to 70 degrees F or lower and from 70 to 41 degrees F or lower within an additional 4 hours.
