Going to make my first Jambalaya and wanted to know which brand to buy. Going to Winn-Dixie if that makes any difference.

Thanks for the link, but I'm going to use John Folse's recipe from his Encyclopedia book for this batch.

Ended up buying some Martin's that is made by Verons in Prarieville. The smell from the kitchen is awesome right now as I just added the chicken broth and am just about ready to add the rice and cover.

On the Veron's andouille it says to remove the casing before using. Just a heads up.

I will use Veron's when I run out of supply, but let me show you fellas what some real andouille looks like.

I bought the Jacobs in LaPlace that I didn't care for. I like the original Veron's in LaPlace.

The jambalaya was the bomb, but I see a few things I need to improve on. While the flavor was all there, the rice was mostly white. I browned all of the meat in the oil and made sure to scrape up all the brown bits, but my rice was still not brown enough. Any suggestions?

As for the Andouille, the Martin's was good, but I like mine to be extra smokey and this didn't have it. Will try something else next time.

A little something I do. I treat the rice of jambalaya as I would if preparing a pilaf. After browning all of the meats, and suteeing the veggies to the correct point I throw the rice in with the veggies and cook it with the veggies for a few minutes. This is a method which kind of uses the rice as a solid,not liquid, agent of deglazing the pan. When I figure that has gone on enough the stock and meats are put back in and the pot brought to a boil and covered.

If you like smokey then the Jacobs will be right up your alley. That's why I don't like it.

Kitchen Bouquet but if you tell anyone I told you that I'll deny it. I don't own it or have ever used it but I know people.
