Rinse rice in a sieve under cold running water until water runs

until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add oil
or butter to bacon fat in pan and gently cook onion and garlic
until soft, but not brown. Add celery and green pepper and cook
about 3 mins. or until slightly wilted. Add rice and cook stirring
frequently, about 5 mins. or until the rice becomes translucent.
Add 1= cups boiling stock with tomatoes. thyme, tabasco and bacon.
Bring to the boil and stir once, then, cover tightly and place in

stove). Add prawns, pushing them down beneath the surface. Cover
again and cook a further 10-15 mins or until rice is tender and
liquid is absorbed.
Check once or twice during this time and if the rice appears dry,
add a few more spoonfuls of boiling stock. Add parsley and fork
through. Serve Jambalaya from the casserole or pile it on a large
heated serving dish. Serves 6.
