Jambalaya Appreciation Thread

[ProstheticConscience]

Tonight, I made my first primitive attempt at creating that most perfect of foodstuffs, jambalaya.

I used mild Italian sausage as my local grocer doesn't have andouille sausage.

I also used the weird short grain rice I mistakenly bought a while ago as I wanted to use it up for something instead of long grain rice.

I didn't simmer it after adding the chicken, shrimp and sausage. I kept the temperature up too high because the rice wasn't absorbing the chicken stock like I'd hoped, and I think I dumped all the broth into the mix too soon. That causes the temperature to drop too fast so you don't get a nice simmer and the water steams off like it should. That worried me, so I kept the temperature up too high so I could boil the stock off.

I also used twice the spice mixture I should've with the meats before adding them to the stew.

But it was awesome.

Jambalaya is amazing, even when cooked by someone inept like me.

I love Louisiana food in general, but yes, Jambalaya is awesome, provided it's actually spicy. I've noticed in my time in this country, a lot, not all, but a lot of place market things as spicy, but aren't.

Note: Isn't as good the next day when you have the leftovers for lunch.

Those weird rice grains? Like jelly beans. Still yummy, but doesn't transport well.

Jambalaya is awesome if its made right.
unfortunately the last time I had it, it was not made well and yeah it was not a good experience.
