Jambalaya is the paella, the biriani, the special fried rice, of the American Deep South. A deliciously spicy rice dish filled with chicken, prawns and spicy sausage, it is also great to use up some of that leftover turkey – just replace the chicken with it. This dish is great as part of a buffet for a supper party, and also a comforting midweek supper involving little effort.
