so using this same recipe, how would it transfer to a pastalaya?

the same, just adjust water for how much pasta you're using?

I'm seriously thinking about stopping here and going with tortilla's and cheese or something. Would I have to adjust the seasoning down?

Knew it was going to be a good when the first pic was of temple meat

Looks great - only think I would change is the sausage. I prefer Ralph's smoked green onion sausage. Have not tried the hot sauce - will try that next one. Excellent visuals.

It's sold all over Gonzales and St Amant area. Just about every grocer in town had it. But I don't think it's in BR. I haven't seen any in BR anyways. Beazel's is good stuff too.

down here we cook our onions much, much, much more....to the point where they are as dark as they are going to get without burning. find it gives it a richer flavor and darker color.

after your pork is cooked, try pulling it apart with two forks....makes it sort of stringy and easier to eat. same with the sausage...i dice whatever sausage i am using.

of course if Gonzales has its own style of jambalaya, i'm sure you nailed it, being that i have no idea what the style is up there.

pastalaya you're not using stock. precook the noodles and drain. the water that is released from the onions, and your melted meat fat is what coats the noodles.

What? I cook the noodles in the stock with all the other ingredients just like the rice version. Why would you cook noodles seperately? Different recipe I guess.

noodles do not absorb liquid like rice does. i cook the noodles IN stock, then drain. there is plenty enough liquid in my black pot by the time it's time to add the noodles. and by liquid i mean 1. the water that has been released by the onions, and 2. the fat rendered from my sausage (and sometimes a little bacon)

different strokes. i'll post pics as soon as i cook another one.

sorry if it looked like i was criticizing. his original post asked for suggestions, so i gave mine. i understand that people (especially from different parishes) cook very differently. it's all good!

now, tomato sauce in jambalaya is where i draw the line

Didn't at all. Just poking a bit of fun. And I do like to play with the parish line/regional distinctions that some understand exist...and others don't...
