It maybe just in my head, but my new Griswold #10 pot helped a ton.

Pork, andouille, and smoked sausage, browned and rendered
Holy trinity
Salt, pepper, Cayenne pepper, garlic powder, bay leafs
Brown the rice
No water, beef stock only

Looks like the rice came out good. And I always recommend at least half chicken half beef broth, especially better than bouillon products. But all beef is good. I've been using beef broth for almost everything lately

It’s not in your head. That’s a good pot. Looks great!

It’s pretty wet looking.

It was still drying. I just took the lid off after the 20 min rice cook

Is the rice cooked? Any “final” pictures?

Old school method is to let your meat and veggies boil an hour to make your own stock. Otherwise , you followed the Ascension Parian guidelines and made a very nice jambalaya. I always add chopped Garic , Parsley and Green onion with the raw rice. Gives it a nice finish.

A good thing imo. A lot of jambs are too dry

AT, looks great! Explain to this Yankee (not really) why you use andouille & smoked sausage? I always use one or the other.

Andouille is for flavor/fat, sausage is for just “sausage in the jambalaya”.
In this photo, you can make out the oblong sliced sausage, and diced andouille.



BTW, here is my #10 Griswold, just finished cleaning it.

I would never put beef in a Jambalya, so I would never use beef broth. Nothing wrong with chicken bouillon. I use bouillon exclusively.

Andouille is for gumbo. Smoked sausage is for jambalaya. I see no point in using both, just like I see no point in using pork and chicken together. Pick 1 sausage and 1 meat and let the flavor make the jambalaya. Why do you need to complicate it?

I just feel using multiple meats is a thing people think “makes it better” simply because people say so. That being said, if you like both, use both. Cook to your liking.

Not you again.

I did not know there were rules on sausage and what dishes they go in.

Doesn't seem complicated.

Settle down, Karen. I bet it was delicious, at least it looks so.

I have a Thermador cooktop too. It's a love/hate relationship. Cleaning it is terrible.
