If you find the dish too spicy serve it accompanied with a little soured cream as this will take away some of the heat. Jambalaya is a traditional cajun dish similar to paella but with more spice. Its great with a crisp green salad and a sharp lemon dressing. If you like your food really hot and spicy add tabasco sauce to taste at the end. Altemabvely allow your guests to add their own. 15 Serves 4
