The topic has come up before and a few folk on the board have noted they have successfully used brown jasmine rice for jambalaya.

For those that have - could anyone confirm their liquid to rice ratio on a small batch (8 to 10 serving) pot as well as an the cook time after the hard boil is complete? Any other differences of significance?

Thanks in advance!

will not work worth a damn, best you can do is cook your brown rice first and put aside
start your jambalaya meat and stuff, use 1/2 the water and cook it down to a decent gravy and serve on top of rice

Brown rice takes longer to cook, so you have to add more water or the liquid will steam off and your jambalaya will burn before the rice is done. The internet says you should add 25 to 50% more water for brown rice.

Personally I wouldn't do it, because your jambalaya will taste like shite.

I was involved by accident in a joint effort of making jambalaya with jasmine rice. I can confirm your jambalaya will burn/over cook before the rice is done.

In case you are wondering, we didn't realize we had jasmine rice.

if you are deadset on it, you could try soaking the rice over night to cut down on the cook time LINK

I do something similar with baked ziti. Just soak the pasta instead of boiling it so it doesn't over cook in the oven
