I know this gets requested all the time, but I can't seem to find it in the search.

Anyone have the link?

I've made it twice before, and it's fantastic. Just always forget to bookmark the damn thread.

BTW, I noticed you just use Green onions and regular onions rather than the celery/bell pepper/onion trinity.

Any reason?

I don't use bell pepper or celery in my jambs. Those vegies in my opinion add nothing to the taste. Bell pepper and celery can and will overtake the taste of the pork and onion if overused. Thats why I don't use those in my jambs. Just my personal preference.

Gotcha. I may need to try it without and see if I like.

I used one bell pepper and a good bit of green onion. I liked the way it came out, but I'm going to do a little experimenting soon and try out a couple of different combos

I've made it with a POS stainless steel pot from Ikea

I followed the recipe, and it turned out fine

Just fantastic. Always wanted to cook "real" jambalaya and did tonight for NYE and LSU game.

Came out perfect, just like your pics. Thanks and Happy New Year!

The great thing about poche's post is that it provides a great example of technique. Personally, I use trinity, and my jams include chicken and sausage, but I use his post as a reference for the cooking process (especially for the rice), and they always come out good.

My wife does it in a big Magnalite roaster and puts it in the oven and it's pretty damn good.

Any dutch oven will do the job, it doesn't matter as to the metal it is made from in the end.

Just finished mine.

I burnt the bottom ever so slightly. I have an electric stove and I think the heat reduction was not fast enough.

Some variations I did.

Turkey sausage and leftover Christmas turkey (I'm doing weight watchers and it is what I had).

I used one cup of white wine in place of the broth.

I added a little apple cider vinegar. When I tasted prior to sealing for the 25 minute cooking period I thought it needed a little tang.

Thanks so much for the posts and input.

Update: My jamba was very good using the recipe with my slight variations.

What I was impressed with is how "dry" it looked and how moist it was. Since it did not appear wet, I thought it was dried out. Instead the rice was very fluffy.

I won't use turkey again though. Didn't like that flavor. Chicken will be my go to.

I used his technique last night and the rice came out great. I did it in a magnalite roaster.

any pot will do.....it will help if it's got a heavy bottom to prevent burning. it it does burn some, just don't scrape the bottom and you should be fine
