    Recipe




    Put ham or bacon in a 4-quart soup kettle and cook over low heat
    until fat is rendered. Increase heat to medium and stir until
    cooked, about 5 minutes.

    Remove chicken skin, cut meat off the bones and then cut boneless
    chicken into bite-size pieces. Add to kettle or skillet with bacon
    or ham and toss until color turns pale, about 4 minutes. Remove
    bacon or ham and chicken with a slotted spoon and put on paper
    toweling; set aside. Add sausage to kettle and brown all over, about
    6 to 8 minutes; remove. Leave 2 tablespoons fat in kettle; pour off
    and discard remaining fat.

    Insert metal blade in food processor. Mince garlic by adding to
    machine with motor on. Add onion and chop very coarsely with half
    second pulses. Add green pepper and process with half-second pulses
    until mixture is chopped to medium consistency. Add mixture to
    kettle and stir over low heat until softened, about 10 minutes.
    Process tomatoes until pureed; set aside.

    Add rice to ingredients in kettle and stir over low heat for 2
    minutes. Then stir in oregano Thyme, file, black pepper, cayenne
    pepper and cumin. Add tomatoes and broth. Stir well and let mixture
    to boiling. Reduce heat to low, cover and cook rice mixture 15 to 20
    minutes. Cut sausage into 1/4-inch thick coin like slices. Mix
    sausage, ham and chicken pieces into rice. Cover and cook until rice
    is tender (rice may not absorb all the liquid) about 20 minutes
    longer. Taste and adjust seasoning, adding salt as needed. Stir
    shrimp into hot rice mixture, cover pot and let stand for 8 to 10
    minutes. Serve rice with shrimp, meats and liquid.

    Serves 8.
