This gorgeous one-pan savoury spicy dish makes a fantastic evening meal and any leftovers will keep in the fridge for 3 days. Just make sure you chill it down as soon as possible and reheat it thoroughly.
Jambalaya is a Creole dish, from Louisiana in the deep-south of North America, with flavours from the diverse influences of the region, such as Caribbean, Spanish, West African and French.
By substituting regular sausages for low fat sausages, such as ‘Heck’, you can save loads of calories, as they are about one-third of regular sausages, bringing the calorie content of the dish down to something almost anyone can include in their eating plan.
