Carrots in jambalaya?
quote:

The mixture is brought to a boil and left to simmer for 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the recipe,

quote:

A third method is less common, the "Cajun" jambalaya. In this version, meat and vegetables are cooked separately from the rice. At the same time, rice is cooked in a savory stock. It is added to the meat and vegetables before serving. This is called "white jambalaya." This dish is rare in Louisiana as it is seen as a "quick" attempt to make jambalaya, popularized outside the state to shorten cooking time.

I do not want this jambalaya. I hate a msuhy jam, but a jam with dry rice.

I could see it being used as they would be in the usual French mirepoix. In fact, I might try it.

I only use them in a super spicy chicken pastalaya I make.

They carry a lot of sugar for a regular jambalaya.

I had an out-of-towner rave to me about her jambalaya. She said she made it in the crockpot, with tomato and okra... and spooned it over rice. I'm serious.

I'm not a regular maker of jambalaya, but those would go in mine. There's nothing about the trinity that I don't like. If I'm chopping it myself instead of buying Guidry's, I use red bell pepper instead of green.

That shrimp jam of yours had a very strong shrimp flavor. Dare I say I might have liked it better with the taste not that strong? Don't get me wrong, it was very tasty. It's just sometimes less is more.

Apparently I am the only lazy SOB on this board that finds extreme value in buying large bags of pict sweet frozen seasoning blend and several small jars of spice world roasted garlic. I'm not chopping up 30 pounds of vegetables. Hell, I'm not chopping up 3 pounds worth when I'm making at home.

You should know that, according to Tom Fitzmorris, the jarred garlic is made from dehydrated garlic. Apparently that is what allows it to be canned successfully.

And it is delicious and a hell of a lot easier than peeling and chopping or pressing a ton of garlic.
