Vegetable Jambalaya

30 minutes
This is a great weekday meal: it's quick and simple to make at the end of a long day. You don't need to worry about exact quantities of veggies: just throw them in and it always seems to work out alright! We vary the veggies we use depending on what's in the fridge. Zucchini and spinach also work in well (if using spinach, don't add until near the end of cooking time).
