| Ingredients |
| 1 lb. smoked ham (cubed) |
| 1/2 lb. chaurice* (hot sausage cut in pieces) |
| 1/2 lb. smoked sausage (cut in 1/2-inch slices) |
| 1 cup chopped onions |
| 3 cups uncooked rice |
| 1/4 cup chopped green onions |
| 1/2 tsp. paprika |
| 1 tbsp. chopped parsley |
| 1 tsp. ground thyme |
| 1 tsp. chopped garlic |
| 1/2 cup chopped green pepper |
| 1 tsp. salt |
| 1 bay leaf |
| 1 lb. shrimp (peeled and deveined) |
| 4 cups boiling water |
| Directions |
| Place ham, sausages, and onions in 3-quart saucepan. |
| Cover and cook over medium heat until onions are soft. |
| No need to add any oil as the meat will provide enough fat for cooking. |
| Add rice and stir well. |
| Add all other ingredients and bring to a boil. Let boil for 5 minutes, then lower heat. |
| Cover pot tightly and let cook slowly for 35 minutes or until rice is tender. |
| With a fork, fluff rice up, mixing sausages well |
Cook’s Note from Tanya Osmond:
Whatever jambalaya recipe you use, take your time and let the meat brown to a nice deep golden color — in batches if the pan is too crowded. Don’t worry if the pan looks a little too dark. Scrape up the browned bits when you add your liquid. All the caramelized bits will add a ton of flavor to your final dish.

Greek Coffee
Greek Coffee — Microsoft Bing
To make authentic Greek coffee, you will need the following ingredients and equipment:
- Finely-ground, dark roasted coffee beans (extra fine)
- White or brown sugar to taste
- Water
- A traditional briki, or Greek coffee pot
- Demitasse cups for serving
- A gas stove or a single-burner camp stove
A briki is a special metal pot that has an hourglass or cauldron shape and a long handle. It is used to brew the coffee directly on the heat source. A demitasse cup is a small cup that holds about 2 to 3 ounces (59 to 89 ml) of coffee. Greek coffee is served with foam on top (kaimaki) and the grounds at the bottom of the cup.[^11][^12] ¹²
You can adjust the amount of sugar and coffee according to your preference. There are four main types of Greek coffee based on the proportions of ingredients:
- Sketos (plain, no sugar): 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee per cup
- Metrios (medium sweetness): 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee and 1 teaspoon of sugar per cup
- Glykos (sweet): 1 heaping teaspoon of coffee and 2 teaspoons of sugar per cup
- Vary glykos (extra-strong sweet coffee): 2 teaspoons of coffee and 3 teaspoons of sugar per cup
To brew Greek coffee, follow these steps:
- Measure the water using the demitasse cup and pour it into the briki.
- Add the coffee and sugar and stir well.
- Place the briki over low to medium heat and watch it carefully.
- When the coffee starts to rise and form a thick layer of foam, remove it from the heat and pour it into the demitasse cup, making sure to preserve the foam.
- Let the coffee settle for a few minutes before drinking it. Enjoy it slowly and sip the liquid, not the grounds.[^13]
Greek coffee is traditionally served with a glass of cold water and some sweets or snacks. It is a great way to relax and savor the flavor of this unique brew.[^15] 😊
