Why no Kitchen Bouquet? I use it all the time and it never comes out right when I don't. Do you use something in place of it?


If you're not getting the color you want, you aren't browning the meat enough or correctly. Gives you a deeper flavor as well. How do you brown your meats?

Did you know the Pioneer Woman Cooks "Jambalaya"?

FYI I used StadiumRat's Jambalaya calculator last week to make Jambalaya for 35 of my daughter's soon-to-be in laws. Came out great...StadiumRat should win the Nobel Peace Prize for his J.C.

How do you get the meat browned and the flavor from the browning if you stir it so much and don't allow the fond to form at the bottom of the pot?

Gris Gris, you're usually spot on, but if you don't want to see Kitchen Bouquet, then don't hang around the Gonzales Jambalaya Festival, or any other contest I've ever been to.

For you guys who use chicken stock in place of water, do you reduce the amount of salt in your recipe, and if so, by how much?

Wow! Those folks don't know how to brown the meats to get the color and flavor? That's a surprise. I've never seen anyone use KB in jamba, but the people I see making it, brown the meats. I've got nothing against KB. It doesn't add or detract from flavor in my opinion. I just don't see the need for it in jamba anymore than I see the need for a "cream of" soup. Do they use the soup in Gonzales as well?

I tend to fail at this. Boston Butt has soooo much fluid in it. Getting better at it, but still not to my liking color wise. I've never used the bouquet stuff. Can't find temple meat either.

There is a reason that Murray's sells quart bottles of the stuff. I totally respect the man's jambalaya prowess, but there are some really good (competitive) cooks using liquid help to get exactly the right color, whether he's laughing at them or not.

The contest at the plant I was in a couple of weeks ago I walked past a table that probably had 2 dozen cans of Rotel opened up. Didn't feel an urge to try that one.

I'm not by ay means saying that no one uses KB. The question and or statement above said he witnessed many Jamb cooks at the Gonzales Jamb festival using KB. Thats false. All ingredients are handed out and they all have the same ingredients and seasonings and KB is not one of them. Disqualification if caught using KB.

Isn't that a more recent rule? I thought they changed that when they realized virtually everyone was using LeBlanc's seasoning? I've not been in a few years due to kids' activities, so I defer to the local expertise.
