Pork in Jambalaya?

my jambalaya is usually pork, chicken thighs, and smoked sausage...so, yeah, i do.

Mine is usually chicken and sausage, but many will rely on pork as a primary meat. Can't go wrong either way as long as the dish is prepared well.

I vary between them. Sometimes if I don't feeling like adding pork I just add a little more sausage.

never seen it in the store anywhere

My guess would be any of the AG stores can get it for you. Matherne's gets mine with a little notice, otherwise, I drive down to any of the country stores in the AP if it's last minute. It's awesome to cook with, already in perfect size chunks. You'll never touch another butt once you've tried it once.

Yes i use pork and / or chicken thighs

Temple is great, but can be a little stringy (lamendolas almost always has it in stock, if it is not in the case, ask for it and they will have some in the freezer for you)

Cushion meat is also good

Always brown some kind of pork first. Temple > Shoulder > Whatever I find.

I use 1/2 pork cushion meat, 1/4 pork sausage and 1/4 chicken thighs. I used to have to order the cushion meat but now my local butcher buys it and cuts it for the pork jambalaya meat he sells in his meat counter.

I dont think Ive ever had a jambalaya without pork meat as the main meat in it.
