Garden Harvest Jambalaya





Yields
Makes 6 to 8 servings

Motivated by her garden, teenager Jennifer Bauermeister assembled an all-vegetable jambalaya using a classic recipe as a guide. In lieu of the shellfish, she added more spices and a greater variety of vegetables.

 2 firm-ripe tomatoes (about 10 oz. each)
 1 red bell pepper (about 1/2 lb.)
 4 kohlrabi (about 1 lb. total)
 2 carrots (about 10 oz. total)
 1 zucchini (about 1/2 lb.)
 1 cup green beans
 1 onion (about 1/2 lb.)
 1 tablespoon olive oil
 3 cloves garlic, minced
 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
 1/2 teaspoon pepper
 1 1/3 cups long-grain white rice
 2 1/4 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  Salt
