Jambalaya Help
Posted on 1/11/19 at 8:35 am
Posted on 1/11/19 at 8:35 am
Ok I’ve always been good at cooking some stuff gumbo etc but jambalaya never had much experience. This weekend I’m planning on cooking a really big pot of it for my “yankee” friends lol and I need all the tips I can get. Don’t want them to think this Louisiana boy don’t know how to cook a good jambalaya lol. Also I’m in South Carolina so getting decent smoked sausage will be more challenging than if I was back home..thanks in advance.

Go to the cookbook link at the top of this page and download the jambalaya calculator.

Just curious what type of local sausages you can buy in your area of South Carolina?

I usually look for Bryan Smoky Hollow when I’m in another area. It’s not great, but at least I know it’s not gonna bring weird flavors to the party.

What kind of "really big pot" do you have?
You need a cast iron pot.

Been cooking jambalaya for a long time, just for family, never more than 12 servings, was hit and miss, downloaded the Jamb Calc about 3 years ago, it’s always spot on. Only thing I did was eliminated the dry seasonings and switched to Kim Leblanc’s seasoning and it very good.

I’m an idiot. Where can I download the jambalaya app, not finding it in App Store? Again, this is a really dumb question but would like to try it out though.

App is only for Android.

It’s cast iron..I’ll have to look at the size

Whatever you do, just make sure you keep it a true Gonzales jambalaya

Stay away from Hillshire Farms. They don’t taste right to me.
I wouldn’t buy it here, but Conecuh sausage is made in Alabama. Walmart should have it. Smithfield is made in the region you’re in. It would be my next choice.

Walmart carries a brand named Hydel's. When i'm in California and want good smoked sausage thats my best option. I would think its sold there as well. Its really pretty decent sausage.
Download the Jambalaya Calculater. Ratt did an excellent job on that app and its a great cooking tool.
Good luck.

My advice as a beginner would to be when you think you've browned it, brown it more. Cook the hell out them onions.
