I found this ingredient interesting. I grew up in Ascension parish and have never eaten a jambalaya with celery in it.

I'm not saying it is wrong, just different

that's what i was thinking. A lot of people think celery is not in a dish, but they often just don't notice it as long as it's only a little.

it IS part of the cajun trintiy.....

i would also try adding some pork to your jambalaya, it browns much better than chicken

Pork!!!!
Its better than chicken anyways. Get a boston butt. Jambalaya Fest. jam. sucks anyways. Its all about looks and consistency of the rice. We had a party awhile back and some guy insisted he cook his Jam. Fest award winning Jam. and we cooked ours. Had a 5 gallon pot emptied, his was 3/4 full. The best part is we had a bet with him and he lost.... PORK!!!

I use both pork/ boston butt and boneless thighs is the best IMO.

The key is in the onions. I use 5 lbs of onions when I make a jambalaya. Get them good and dark until not quite burnt. You an use a little kitchen bouquet if you need to cheat from time to time.
