Brennan's jambalaya recipe v. "brown" jambalaya
Posted on 12/26/19 at 7:44 pm

Hello y'all. Have y'all ever made the Brennan's jambalaya recipe? Here is the recipe: LINK. If so, what were your thoughts? Please share any other "red" jambalaya recipes you think are worthy of cooking.
On the other hand, does anyone have a good "brown" Gonzales style recipe they want to share? I like tomatoes but want to give both types a try in my new cast iron dutch oven.
Thank y'all.

You must be doing it wrong. They’ll go in there if you want them to

You are wrong.
The second you put tomatoes in a jambalaya, it is no longer a jambalaya.

I just bought some saffron and plan to make Alton Brown's paella recipe in my dutch oven. Don't care if it isn't a paella pan.

Here is one for you. Although, I can't say I've ever used liquid smoke.
Copy Me That
Here is another. I can't say I've ever actually used a recipe though. Learned from my father and just wing it from there

Never use tomatoes in a chicken or pork jambalaya. There is such a thing as a Creole jambalaya with tomatoes, but you must use shrimp and/or ham for it to be acceptable. Whatever you do, don’t use salted pork belly.

First things first - the whole debate about tomatoes in jambalaya and gumbo is one thing
But if it's a brand new cast iron piece of cookware you don't want to put tomatoes in it
quote:
Myth #2: You should never cook tomatoes and other acidic foods in cast iron.
A well-seasoned pan can handle acidic foods with impunity. Mark does caution, though, against jumping into menu plans with tomatoes while using a newly purchased Lodge product. “If the seasoning is very good, you can prepare dishes with tomatoes and other acidic foods, but it’s best to wait until your piece is well-seasoned.” Recipes including very acidic foods, like tomatoes and citrus juices, should not be cooked in seasoned cast iron until the cookware is highly seasoned. The high acidity of these foods will strip the seasoning and result in discoloration and metallic-tasting food.

Since it was originally a creole dish and creole cooking calls for it, tomatoes do belong in it. It's tastier than that dry brown stuff.This post was edited on 12/28/19 at 4:23 am

Let me make a suggestion. It’s likely the acidity of the tomato that you’re after. Scrap the tomatoes and add liberal amounts of LA Hot Sauce during cooking. That should do the trick.

I don't get the argument over tomatoes vs no tomatoes. I've had both and like it either way. If it tastes good eat it! If you don't like tomatoes and there are tomatoes in it DON'T eat it! I've had brown and red jambalaya that tasted like crap. It's all about variety!
