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.
