ive tried that oak grove stuff and didnt like it

I just:
brown some chicken and sausage up
remove
add onion, celery, bell pepper. brown good
garlic and put meat back in
equal parts chicken broth and water to make the rice
dump rice in, simmer 20 min

done

usually pretty good and takes 45 min or so

Should take a lot longer than 45 min if you are browning your meats and veggies properly


I cook rice for at least 30 minutes too

Tried this recipe (Donald Link's) last time I made it and was really pleased. I am following this one from now on. You really need to take the time to cook everything down like the recipe says.

Gotta tell you, before I was enlightened, Oak Grove was my favorite pre-made mix - much better than Zatarain's.

Then, PocheJP changed my life.

No way.

It takes 45 minutes just to brown onions.

the one big "trick" to making a jambalaya easier is to use some raw sausage (cut into pieces) when you start. it makes more gravy with less effort than any amount of browning the chicken and smoked sausages (which are still essential ingredients IMO).

how many people? I think this'll do for 8 people assuming half women/half men type situation. It scales up.


4 big yellow onions chopped fine
about 8 cups water.
4 cups rice
1 bell pepper - chopped
2-3 banana peppers - chopped - optional if you want a hot jambalaya
3-5 crushed garlic cloves
2 bundles green onions. - chopped
2 lbs hot sausage - chopped
1 whole chicken cut up or pork.
salt, pepper, red pepper, onion powder, whatever.(some people just use tonys but its a little too much salt for me)

Brown your sausage and chicke and put them on the side. Cook down your yellow onions & garlic constantly stirring.(add a little water if necessary so it doesn't get dry in the bottom of the pot) Don't burn them or the whole recipe is screwed. Once you've sauteed this mix way down you add in your meat and then your water.(add enough water to cover everything) Season to taste and cook everything until your meat is good and tender. About 15 minutes before you're going to add your rice put in the peppers and gren onions. Add rice and bring to simmer for 15 around minutes or until the rice looks to be getting cooked. Take a big spoon and turn the rice over once.(you only want to bring the bottom to the top) Leave over low heat until your water is all out and the rice is tender. You'll have your Jambalaya. Serve it with french bread, white beans and salad.
