decided to make a jambalaya today but wanted something a little different so I tried so make one that I haven't had since i was a kid.

First I cooked some bacon in my pot

next I cooked down some temple meat in the bacon grease
[/URL][/img] then I cut up some fresh sausage in meatball sized chunks and browned it with the temple meat [/URL][/img]
next I added my smoked sausage and continued browning until it started to stick
[/URL][/img]
Next I removed all the meat and began cooking down the onion, celery, bell pepper and garlic
[/URL][/img]
I dumped in a can of field peas once everything was cooked down
[/URL][/img]
I added some chicken broth and threw my meat back in and let simmer for about 20 minutes.

finally I added the rice. I stirred it for a few minutes till it thickened up

I put it in the oven for 30 minutes at 375 to finish up.

came out pretty good overall

Looks good.

I wonder what it would be like if you cooked the peas at home and used the leftover pea liquor in place of the broth.

Not sure. You could definitely taste the peas throughout the dish and I drained the cans before adding them

I think the real name for it is jowl meat or from the jaw. It's way more tender than boston butt and has a sweet taste to it

that is what I was thinking...I have heard that referred to as "cheek meat" too...the best tacos I ever had were made from it.

Meat from the temple of a pig, each pig has 2, specifically the temporalis muscle

ETA: jowl is the cheek, very close to the temple but different structures

I'd eat it but why boil for 20 minutes before putting rice in?

No reason. I was busy cleaning up so I just put the lid on it and let it go. More of a simmer than a boil
