Add the spices and garlic together. Add the ham and sausage together. Add onion, celery, and bell peppers together. Add the shrimp and oysters together.
2. Heat the oven to 350F
3. Melt the fat over high heat in a 6qt dutch oven. I like to use duck fat or bacon grease. But if you want to use oil you can.
4. Add the ham and sausage and sauté until beginning to brown ~5 min
5. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper. Cook until they begin to stick to the bottom of the pot. ~5 min
6. Add the chicken and cook for another 3 min.
7. Add the spices and garlic and cook another 3 min.
8. Add the tomatoes and cook another 8 min or until the tomatoes begin to give up their liquid.
9. Add the tomatoes sauce and stock and bring to a simmer
10. Add the rice, shrimp, oysters, and green onions.
11. Mix thoroughly and cover. Bake for 30 min.
12. Turn oven off, take jambalaya out and stir it. Place cover back on and let sit in hot oven another 30 min. Serve.
