re: Favorite meat(s) to use in jambalayaPosted by GeauxTigers0107 on 7/24/17 at 7:01 am to CorkSoaker
Temple meat, boneless//skinless chicken thighs and Manda smoked sausage. As a substitute for temple meat I'll use a boston butt. And for a small jamb (2lb rice) I'll use a pack of country style ribs.
I cook a 3:1 ratio jamb...3lbs of meat to 1lb of rice. So that would be 2lbs of pork, 2lbs of chicken and 2lbs of sausage to 2lbs of rice.

Chicken, pork (diced pork chop or loin), sausage.

I'll cut up a boneless butt. I don't like the texture of temple meat.
Only sausage I use is DD sausage. It doesn't fall apart when cooking like some others do and has great flavor.

Temple meat if available, but it's usually hard to find. I just get the butcher at the meat counter in the store to cup up a big Boston butt for me into quarter inch cubes.
Chicken thighs if I'm doing chicken. Someone else said boneless, but I like to do bone in so I can save the bones for homemade stock.
Sausage is usually Richard's Krazy Kajun, but since they recently switched to link only (at least at my local store), I'm currently experimenting with other varieties. McCann Farms (a local outfit) is in the lead right now.

That's tiny pieces....like the size of a sugar cube. You sure you got that right?

Favorite meat(s) to use in jambalaya by CorkSoaker
I like to throw some chicken and sausage on the grill and then use that to make jambalaya the next day.
It gives off a really good smoked flavor.

chicken thighs and Veron's smoked sausage

Here's a vote for (a high-quality pork smoked) sausage & shrimp, a classic combo on Bayou Lafourche that doesn't seem to get much play these days. I like it made w/med-large shrimp, say 16-20s, and plenty of chopped green onion tops stirred into it just before serving. A squeeze of lemon is nice, too.

I add the shrimp with the rice...shrimp stock is ideal, but if you're feeling lazy, a pork or chicken stock can substitute. The key to delicious is a good flavored sausage & browning it very well along w/the onions.
OCD folks programmed to think that shrimp must be barely cooked will dislike the idea of shrimp steaming for 20 mins along with the rice. Using larger shrimp helps--smaller ones shrivel into nothingness, but fat juicy med/large will still be plenty tasty. It does need a good bit of heat & acid to balance out the shrimp, imho.

Sausage and shrimp is my favorite.

Boston butt and DD sausage. I'll never understand how Manda's stays in business.
re: Favorite meat(s) to use in jambalayaPosted by CHEDBALLZ on 7/24/17 at 12:16 pm to CorkSoaker
My favorite combo is andouille, smoked sausage, pork meat and dark meat chicken
My Second favorite combo is shrimp and salt meat, Chauvin Style.

This 100%.
Depending on the size of shrimp I might add them before the stock and rice.
And thank you for helping me decide what's for supper!
Had fried catfish and sweet potato fries for lunch.

I agree, also shrimp give off a lot of water, so you dont use quite as much liquid/stock.
When my dads family (Chauvin) made it they almost always added a can of Rotel to it while browning the onions. Yall do this below the Intracoastal on Bayou Lafourche?
