You using a store bought lid?
It ain't jambalaya if you aren't using a street sign for a lid.

Poured the rice in, stirred to distribute evenly and brought it back to a boil quickly. Turned the fire down to the lowest setting and covered. Let it simmer for 25 minutes or so, folding occasionally to unstick it off the bottom.
Boil the rice until it starts to swell and "jump out the pot" so to speak. Cover on low low heat and never lift the lid for at least 30 min. Then roll and recover for 20 more. Also use Mahatma extra long grain. Best there is for Jambs IMO.

That's what I didn't do. There's the first mistake.

Second mistake.

Exactly what I used.
I like Rat's comments too about the rice. I completely agree that popped rice doesn't dictate what a delicious jambalaya is. It's the flavors used. Popped rice just shows a better command of technique...which is what I'm after. My jambs taste great, IMO. And I would say the proof is in all the event catering I've done and still do but I believe the vast majority of folks never check to see if the chef got the rice to pop. But every single time I fold one at the end of the cook, it sticks out to me like a giant flashing neon light. And I want to fix that.

Gotta let DAT rice boil till it jumps out da pot...... Den you lower the fire.
This
Let that rice soak up most of the liquid before you lower the fire and cover. Turn the bottom once before you do.

I bake jams after the initial prep on the stovetop, using Paul Prudhomme's method. No. 12 pot with no lid used.
