Tamarind glaze Jambalaya Skillet

Method

1. Gather and prep everything first: long-grain rice, olive oil, yellow onion and set within reach of the stove.
2. Warm a splash of olive oil in a heavy pan over medium heat, then add the yellow onion and cook until soft and fragrant, about 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the jambalaya and let it smoked-paprika, undisturbed, so it takes on real color before you stir.
4. Fold in the chicken stock and season generously; give everything a minute to come together.
5. Pour in the crushed tomatoes, bring to a gentle simmer, and cook until thickened and glossy.
6. Taste and adjust, then finish with flaky sea salt right before serving.
7. Plate it up while hot and pass extra at the table.
