Categories     Main Course

Time 12m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup orzo pasta
1/2 cup freeze dried or dehydrated vegetables
2 tablespoons tomato powder
1 tablespoon Creole spice
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 oz summer sausage or jerky (optional - omit to make this meal veg friendly)
2 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • Pre-Trip: Place the pasta, freeze dried vegetables, tomato powder, Creole spice, and salt in a resealable bag. Pack along the olive oil and summer sausage.
  • At Camp: Empty the contents of the bag into your cook pot. Add the water and olive oil and bring to a low boil. Cook for about 10 minutes or until the pasta is tender, making sure to stir fairly often (especially towards the end) to prevent the food from scorching and sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  • In the meantime, cut up the sausage or jerky and add to the pot as the rest of the meal is cooking to heat through.
  • Remove from the heat and enjoy!

JAMBALAYA WITH A TWIST



Jambalaya With a Twist image

When I first got married, I couldn't cook, but I did charm my husband with this dish. This was one of the first dishes that I made, that I didn't ruin. It is a very hearty, robust, satisfying, comfort meal. Oysters, shrimp and rice...ummmm, perfect with a crusty bread and butter. Please don't let the ingredients turn you off....they blend beautifully together...I hope that you will enjoy this as much as we do.
