Sean’s Dad’s Creole

Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a Dutch oven. Add minced garlic, cooking for about 1-2 minutes. Throw in chopped vegetables and saute for 3-5 minutes or until tender. Add diced tomato, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Add all peppers and spices, as well as chicken broth, and cook until the mixture comes to a boil.

After mixture boils, add chicken/shrimp (or gator, fish – whatever you like) and transfer Dutch oven to preheated oven. Cook for 20 minutes.

Serve over rice or pasta, or with a side of mashed or baked potatoes.
