I'm not saying my way is the right way but I never take anything out of the pot
I brown sausage, then add pork, then veggies, then chicken, and then liquid
I never have to set aside anything and everything comes out fine
We typically add some kitchen bouquet for a darker color, but I know many frown upon that

I'm with you Croaka...I don't pull anything out.
To the OP...good job on your first. Nobody's first jambalaya hits all the marks but you hit the hardest one, the rice.
You just need to build a good fond on the bottom of your pot for color, as mentioned above. I start with frying 5 or 6 slices of bacon, then boneless thighs...let them stick, as mentioned numerous times. You have to get the bottom of that pot dark. Then sausage. Lightly fried. Onions, a touch of stock...and you will begin to deglaze the bottom.
If it comes out lighter than you like, a little Kitchen Bouquet will save you. It doesn't take much though. I had to use it when I was first learning too.
IWEI, fwiw
