This popular dish from Louisiana is simple to prepare and filling. Its name comes from the Provencal word "jambalaia" meaning "a mix-up". The rice is cooked then "mixed-up" with cooked shrimp and sausage. A hint of spice from the chili flakes makes it a fun dish to serve at parties! |

1 Measure rice accurately using the measuring cup that came with your rice cooker. Rinse quickly once, drain and place in the inner cooking pan. |
 |
2 In a separate bowl, mix the salt and spices into the chicken broth, and add to the inner cooking pan. |
 |
3 Add the tomato puree, and if necessary, add water to reach the water scale marked “3” for “Mixed Rice” for 5 and 10 cup rice cookers, and up to “1.5” for 3 cup rice cookers. |
 |
4 Place the minced onion on top and cook using the “Mixed” setting. |
 |
5 When the rice cooker begins its countdown, sauté the shrimp and sausage in a frying pan with olive oil and garlic and place in a bowl. |
 |
6 When rice completes cooking, open the lid and transfer the rice to the bowl from step 5. Mix well and serve immediately. |
