Color doesn't really come from the meat. The color comes from how you brown the onions.


Ehhh. I must disagree here.


Are you sure? Unlike most things on the F&DB,I actually know what I'm talking about here. Jambalaya is my signature dish that I cook competitively and win with. Very little of the color comes from the meat. 90% at minimum is determined by how much the onions are cooked prior to adding the water. This is the most important step and I know from getting it wrong many many times by not cooking the onions long enough and getting a pale color. It took a lot of practice to get that right. You're incorrect on that.

Yes sir. I always browned the meat then used my onions etc to deglaze the pot. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
