Slice Basque and Cajun style smoked sausages and set aside.
Cook the Mexican chorizo in a large stock pot, crumbling it until cooked thoroughly for 8 minutes.
Add the chopped onions and cook for 3 more minutes.
Stir in the bell pepper and celery and cook for another 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the remainder of ingredients and let come to a boil. Lower heat to simmer and cook for 25 minutes.
Basmati Rice:
In a medium pot, bring broth, butter, and rice to a boil. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, then turn the heat down to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, until all of the liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender. If the rice is still too firm, add a few tablespoons of water and continue cooking for a few minutes more. Remove the pan from the heat and allow it to sit covered for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
This rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
Serve:
Serve Mexican jambalaya over cooked basmati rice, topped with slices of green onion, and sprinkle with Creole seasoning, if using.
