I've cooked probably 10 to15 large pot jambalaya's a year for the last 6 years. I've represented my company in several charity cook-offs (United Way, Heart Walk) and even won a few of them....but I can't for the life of me get a jambalaya to turn out right in a dutch oven cooked on my stove top.

If you guys do this again I might have to join you. I had to cook jambalaya for my K of C council's car show Saturday.
This is what mine looked like......

Sometimes my rice doesn't cook all the way through and it pisses me off, (not sure why) but when it does cook through it is great.

Rumor floating around that the guy who won 2nd also won 2nd at the jambalaya jam downtown a couple of years ago

looks really good...would not last long if it were anywhere near me.

side question for the board: does anyone add in their rice before adding the stock? I saw john besh do it for his jambalaya, as a way to kinda toast the rice and get more flavor into it.

I tried it recently and it came out really nicely. may be doing that method from now on.

My Mom does this. I tried it a couple times and didn't notice a flavor difference.

I've done that before. I think moreso it heats the rice through so when stock is added it makes it more susceptible to absorb the liquid better.

Is your stove top gas or electric? I tried cooking on an electric before and the coils didnt cool down quick enough and it burnt my rice.
