JAMBALAYA RECIPE | the best one-pot Cajun jambalaya!

Рет қаралды 281,499

Күн бұрын

Jambalaya is classic New Orleans comfort food! It's a hearty blend of chicken, sausage, shrimp, veggies, and rice - brimming with spiced Cajun and Creole flavors.
And while jambalaya seems difficult to make (which is what I thought before I tested this recipe), it's quite the opposite! Plus, I've got a homemade Cajun seasoning that really brings this one-pot Louisiana meal to life. Hope you enjoy!

Don’t worry Lisa, people in Louisiana can’t agree how jambalaya should be made either. Everyone here in Louisiana makes it a little different because we all learned from our families. Rarely are any 2 people’s recipes the same unless they’re using box mixes 😂. Love your recipes and the book!

Kind of like how the only thing two Italians can agree on is that the third Italian is cooking it wrong.

@amindisaterriblethingtowas4582 2 ай бұрын

That may be true. However, if it's tomatoe based it's Creole, if it isn't then it's Cajun. That's not an opinion. They are telling her correct, this isn't a cajun Jambalaya, it's Creole.

@oliviaharding6188 Жыл бұрын

As a Cajun in South Louisiana, I'd consider this a Creole New Orleans version of jambalaya. Cajuns don't put tomatoes in theirs. But this recipe came just in time for Mardi Gras! Thanks!!

Thank you very much for this recipe. I tried it with all the ingredients and procedure you’ve suggested but, changed the manner the rice was cooked. I did half Basmati and half parboiled, like 3 cups each on the rice cooker separately with Turmeric for color and chicken stock for flavor. I combined them altogether at the end. Proud to say it’s perfect.

This is a beautiful recipe for Creole jambalaya. Cajun jambalaya has no tomatoes, otherwise basically the same dish. Regular smoked sausage is used as commonly as andouille, often a local brand like Manda, Double D, Veron or Savoies. This recipe is authentic and I’m sure it tastes fantastic! I love that you are introducing this flavorful and healthy dish to your large audience, Lisa! I think many people don’t realize many Cajun and Creole dishes can be fresh and healthy.

@luckaty Жыл бұрын

Though jambalaya is made many ways, in Cajun Country, it’s a local tradition to use pork and sausage, andouille is nice, but a good smoked sausage works great. Your version is more New Orleans based. Parboiled rice is often used, especially by novices as they learn how to cook the rice to perfection. Great tips for those who want to try this as a new dish. I personally love the lighter version made with shrimp and chicken, sans sausage as it can overpower the delicate shrimp and chicken flavor. Like gumbo there’s no wrong way to make jambalaya, great time to share as Mardi Gras is this week.
