Made a pork and Teets sausage jambalaya tonite. I'm a glutton for punishment and want feedback. No tomatoes were killed in the making of this jambalaya:) Also, does anybody add any fresh herbs like basil or thyme? Just an idea.

What was your technique?

Looks like short grain or parboiled rice?

Then you might of stirred it too much and broke up the grains, does not really matter if you liked it though

Have you read the jambalaya thread on here by pochejp?

Looks pretty good to me, especially the meat. Did you use the country style pork ribs?

I would definitely eat it. I've recently tried a little dried thyme and a couple of bay leaves. It did not make a huge difference to me.

I can't see the pic but I'll say I do not add any herbs. I'm generally against "fancying up" a jambalaya. I see people talk all the time about using herbs and tomatoes and stock and on and on. To me jambalaya is nothing more than pork, pork sausage or replace both of those with chicken, water, mahatma long grain, onions, bell pepper (I don't even leave it in), celery (same as bell pepper) and garlic (I actually use garlic powder most of the time. And then of course your seasoning (black pepper, salt, cayenne, garlic powder). I'm not saying I wouldn't eat some of the "jambalaya" dishes that people make when they experiment. I'm just saying back in the day when jambalaya originated it was because it could be made for cheap and a lot of it and it wasn't a fancy dish. The JFA still basically judges jambalaya this way in contests.

This is in no way the way most Louisianians cook jambalaya. And it certainly does not reflect the idea that what tastes good is good. i don't care about esoteric rules.

I thought it turned out pretty good. The rice was not as fluffy as I like. Maybe less liquid next time.
