1 tbsp dried minced chives
1 tbsp dried celery flakes
1 1/2 tsp pepper
3/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Cooking Jambalaya
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups water and 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper to a boil. Stir in one portion of the dried mix; return to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the rice is tender.
In another saucepan, heat 8 ounces of tomato sauce and 1 pound of fully cooked, smoked sausage that has been cut into 1/4-inch slices. Stir into rice mixture and serve.
