Brigantia Jambalaya

Otherwise known as "make it up add you go along" chicken and stuff with rice!

A raiding party sacked the local co-op for provisions and didn't come back empty handed. However, the recipe called for spicy sausage and they'd found none were to be had in these parts.

Undaunted, the cook delved into the ship's stores and chopped up a spare pork and onion sausage left over from breakfast, liberally sprinkled it with black pepper, curry powder and olive oil before leaving it to fester ... sorry "marinate" for a while

Using a sharp knife, or in this case a knife that should be sharp and wasn't (memo to skipper - sharpen sharp knife)  cook then roughly chopped up half a large onion, a pepper and four mini chicken breasts (slightly less than 200g at a guess)

The sausage pieces and chicken went into a hot skillet to brown off then the onion and pepper were added. This surprisingly appetizing looking mixture was then cooked over a medium heat for around 20 minutes or in other words until the cook got bored.

A generous pinch of garlic powder was stirred in followed by the "stock" - the contents of a packet chicken casserole sauce made up with cold water. The pan was brought to the boil and then left to simmer with the lid on for a while. Half an hour or so later, a bag of boil in the bag rice went into the pot along with some pineapple chunks (well, why not?). Heat and stir, heat and stir until the rice looked nearly cooked then in with 150g of cooked and peeled prawns.

A final warm through and serve with seawater cooked beer or cider to taste!

P.S. the prawns were under done and needed to go in with the rice if not sooner. Apart from that it were delicious!
