1 teaspoon salt & 1/2 teaspoon pepper or 1 to 1 1/2 teaspoon Cajun

Reduce heat & sauté onions until clear or slightly browned. Add dry rice & stir till rice becomes opaque & slightly browned. (How brown you make your onions & rice is a matter of personal taste.) Add meat, broth & seasonings. Bring to boil. Stir once. Cover & cook in oven 20 minutes. Turn off oven & allow jambalaya to rest in oven another 10 minutes. Serve with cooked greens & cornbread.
