Just some pre-packed stuff from Kroger.

Other than the meat fowl-up, it was awesome.

It will take another time or two to perfect it.

I can ship you whatever. I've shipped a bunch of live fish and things to people. A Styrofoam ice chest with some dry ice would be a piece of cake

Like others have said, you got the hardest part of a jambalaya right - the rice! Browning the pork and creating fond is essential for getting your onions (and eventually your jambalaya) that nice dark color. Trim and cube up a Boston butt next time, I promise it's worth the extra work.

I cubed the pork roast. I just used too much oil and couldn't get it right.

Last time I burnt the garlic.

The pork cubes and sausage both do not take long at all to cook, you want to keep them juicy, that's your flavor!

looks good and texture looks nice, but seems like you may need to add some kitchen bouquet

If I don't have pork cheek meat i'll go with boston butt. When I cut the boston butt i'll go about 1-1/2" squares with a small piece of fat on each piece if possible. That keeps the pork nice and juicy and tender as well. Also some good quality smoked sausage will improve his jamb tastes as well.

He had to use pork sirloin meat which is somewhat less fat than butt meat and may be why his didn't taste like he expected it to taste. Up where he lives his options are limited in small quantities like we have here in south La. The fat on the pork helps with the "stick" on the pot too when browning it down and will give you a good brown color and not have to resort to using KB.

He did well for a rookie. My wife has been watching me cook jambs for 28 years and she still can't cook one. He has it in two cooks.

I used your thread and the 7.0 jamb calculator with your instructions and and pictures.

I knew the meat wasn't brown enough, and then in turn the veges weren't dark enough, which didn't make the jamb dark enough. I've been around here long enough to know my mistake.

Hopefully the third time's a charm.
