Absolutely. Key is to put it in at the end, maybe 20 minutes before serving so it doesn't dry out too much. If you have some fatty pieces, throw those in with your onions to impart some if the good grease into your jamba.

I was just going to start one. I've been wondering what the Board's opinion was on this subject.

Don't bother. It always devolves into a flame war.

Now, to devolve this thread into a flame war: The heathens from New Orleans are set in their ways and nothing can fix their already crippled taste buds. No self-respecting Cajun or coonass would ever say he prefers red jambalaya to brown, but it is ok to like both and cook either/or depending on one's mood. To say that red is better and/or more authentic, however, is ludicrous.

Red is a culinary travesty.

To add to the Crescent Pie Jambalaya discussion.

I'm not sure they use tomato in their version.

Some very interesting comments in this thread. Some I agree with and some not but hey who cares? Cook how you like and with what you want if you like it.

As for me : I NEVER EVER cook jamb with tomato. EVER!!

Also I actually brown my jambs by browning the meat and it sticking to the pot then deglazing the pot cooking the onions. Again, everyone has their own procedures.

This is the way I do it as well. I add the onions right after the meat is browned. I always assumed the cold onions deglazed the pot. As the onions brown, they release water and that water dissolves the "gratin" and that's where the color comes from. Who's to say that color doesn't come from the onions browning.

I don't think anyone said it doesn't come from the onions. But it has been stated it doesn't come from the browning of the meat, which I disagreed with.
