I’ve always felt jambalaya is the main course and needs no sides. Has a starch/carb, multiple vegetables, meat, fat from the oil. It’s a completely meal.

If anything, jambalaya can be served as a side.

I’d go with a fresh salad if I needed something to cool the mouth with it. Anything rich would be too much.
This.

My feeling. Slice of garlic toast made from some French bread and call it a meal.

The beauty of jambalaya is that it's a one pot meal.

I guess if I had to have sides, maybe some collards and cornbread.
