is there a name for Jambalaya without the rice?

In other words, just the seasonings and meats and stop there?


I've heard someone call it a roux-t(spelling?)

More like a gumbo base if no rice was in it, especially if it was made with chicken and sausage.

ETA: A roux is equal parts oil and flour cooked down to make the flour turn the shade of brown you want. I like my roux to be the color of dark chocolate.

Down the Bayou in Lafourche parish, they make routte pork, which I guess is pretty close to what you’re describing. Usually doesn’t include sausage though.

Season and brown the cubed pork butt/shoulder in a black iron pot, take it out, cook down some onions in the drippings, add the pork back to the pot and cook it down over med/low heat until it’s fall apart tender. Add a little water as you cook so it doesn’t burn.

In my house those types of meals are called a concoction and while it may not look pretty it tastes damn good.

I know what a roux is, make them regularly.

Just wasnt sure what to call what I described as I was requested to make that for a banquet.

Jambalaya sandwich is what I normally do with it before I would add my rice, like a taste test.

Wasnt sure if anyone had a name for iy

Yessir—and when u cube the pork, try to leave a little fat on every cube. Flavor and cuts down on sticking

Sounds like something that would be good over rice.

Yep that's the key,

Was asked to prepare my jambalaya recipe but stop before aadding the water for the rice, so was wondering if there was a specific name people called it.

Thanks for all the replies
