Seasoning Jambalaya

I use jalapeno peppers,salt,black and red peppers,and a little thyme,oregano, and basil,plus bay leaf,green onion,garlic and parsley.

i make my final adjustments after i add my stock and it comes to a boil.
i taste it several times. better to under season, because you can add but not remove.

I never add trinity to Jambalaya one of the only things I dont. I dont care for the celery in it and the bell pepper does nothing for me in it. I use onions only.

Seasoning I use will consist of black pepper, white pepper, thyme, basil,little bit of oregano, salt, red pepper flakes,minced garlic and a little cayenne if I want a little heat.

Salt, Black pepper,red pepper,white pepper,basil,thyme and garlic

In a pot with 4 cups of rice.
1 1/2 tsp ea black pepper,red pepper,white pepper.

1/2 tblsp basil and thyme

1 1/2 tblsp garlic

3-4 tsp salt


ETA: But as always "season to taste".

Thanks

Shame on you for thinking that celery and bell peppers add no distinct flavors to jambalaya. And the bell peppers add color that enhances the presentation of your jambalaya. I like to use green, red and yellow bell peppers to jazz mine up.

onions and garlic, no trinity for me.
black and red pepper, salt, garlic powder.
in cook offs i don't use black pepper but add a little hot sauce, the black pepper can make the rice look dirty with black specks and hurt the presentation.
if you want easy seasonings, use leblanc's cajun seasoning in the yellow can. roughly about 1.5 oz. to every pound of rice.

true gonzales jambalaya doesnt need thyme or basil or oregano. but jambalaya can be cooked many different ways and taste great either way you choose.

Uhhhhh

Now Im aware you may be talking about Kim Leblancs also. But Im pretty sure he probably has basil or thyme or oregano in it as well.

I`am not the guy who makes the jambalaya for all the parties throughout the year. I might make five or six a year and no two or ever the same. Last year I made one and used a good bit of file' as one of the seasonings. Came out really good,might want to give it a try.
