Where is theTasso? If this is a Cajun version,(no tomato) then you have to have that.


I don't think tasso is required in brown or red jamba.

Solid first Jambalaya. I know people who have done way more attempts that still don't look that good. I'm not going to critique it too much because I think it's mostly been covered. You'll be amazed at how much better you will get on your next few attempts.

The green onions in too early reminded me of a time I put green onions in with my trinity on a gumbo (I was shiiiiitfaced) and I ended up with what looked like chiclet sized chunks of charcoal all in my gumbo. Learned a valuable lesson that day.

If serious, don't ever buy again. It's the worst sausage I've had in my life.

thanks for the tips, everyone. I'll probably update this thread when I try again in the next couple months.

Use the jambalaya calculator that you can find online. It's in Excel, and ya can't miss when you use it

Looks good man.

My suggestions - Get you a good cast iron pot, when cooking a chicken thigh jamb cook the sausage first and let it stick to get some color. The rice seems to have popped perfectly.

Good job.

yea we have a badass cast iron skillet, but I need to look into getting a pot.

I used your thread for direction as I cooked, so thanks for doing a really good walkthrough

I took some of the great advice in this thread, and although I seem to have burned a few pieces of the andouille a bit, it came out a lot darker and it was amazing.





thanks for all the tips, and like before, feel free to share criticisms of this one as well
