While I like my recipe, it could be better. Planning on making a big jambalaya for Easter and would like a new recipe. What you got???

I actually don't mind the boxed stuff. It's obviously not as good as some homemade stuff I've had...that was made by people that knew what they were doing. But it's definitely better than what a lot of people can do from scratch.

I've found that if you chop some onions and peppers and cook them down in the pot before following the Zatarain's directions you can make a passable jambalaya. I discovered this while living in Las Vegas when I threw some together at an impromptu party. I had to use what I could find in the closest supermarket. The real trick was finding decent sausage.

Zatarain's is no worse than any other pre-mixed package. You can always adjust the taste with other ingredients.

If you don't have Paul Prudhomme's first cookbook, look up his recipe on his site. Just cut the pepper. It's very good.

Search "jambalaya" on here and you'll find good versions of red and brown.

IF you're gonna use a mix, I recommend this one:




I've never used it, but growing up my mom (who absolutely cannot cook) did and it was very good.

cutting the pepper in half is pretty much my rule of thumb for using Chef Paul's recipes. I love his recipes but if I don't cut the pepper it can be pretty rough, even for someone (like myself) who loves heat. the only recipe i don't cut the pepper is the meat loaf recipe.

i made his red beans and rice recipe a month or so ago and didn't cut the pepper. i could eat it but my wife was not happy....

Anyone know the name of his first cookbook? Is this particular one better than the rest?
